    Surface tension is a property of a liquid to resist the external force. It is the result of cohesive forces between the molecules of the liquid.

    The stronger the cohesive forces between the molecules of the liquid, the stronger is the surface tension.

    Since methylated spirit has weaker cohesive forces than water, it will also have a weaker surface tension.
