Hydrogen bonds are in general stronger than intermolecular bonds due to the Van der Waal force, but not always. It depends on the type of hydrogen bonding versus the type of van der Waal force.
Van der Waals force refers to a particular class of intermolecular forces that arise from the polarization of molecules into dipoles. This includes forces that arise from fixed or angle-averaged dipoles (Keesom forces) and free or rotation dipoles (Debye forces) as well as shifts in electron cloud distribution (London forces). Interaction strength due to London dispersion is about 2 kJmol-1, and dipole-dipole interactions are about 0.6 to 2 kJmol-1.
Hydrogen bonds, also a type of intermolecular force, exists between two partial electric charges of opposite polarity, and as the name implies, one part of the bond involves a hydrogen atom. It is stronger than most other intermolecular forces, but is much weaker than both the ionic bond and the covalent bond. Hydrogen bonds can vary in strength from very weak (1 to 2 kJmol-1) to very strong (40 kJmol-1), which is equivalent to covalent bonds.

A hydrogen bond is much stronger than van der waals forces of attraction.
Hydrogen bonds occur when fluorine, oxygen, or nitrogen combine with hydrogen. It is a very strong intermolecular force.
Van der Waals are between non-polar molecules. It is the weakest form of intermolecular forces. They become stronger with an increase in mass, and weaker with an increase in distance between the molecules.

Stronger. The order of Intermolecular forces is
ion-ion > H-bond > dipole-dipole > Van der waals (London Dispersion)

van der waals force is the weakest of them all so hydrogen bonds are much stronger.

hydrogen bond is a special case of van der walls bonds.
other cases of van der walls force are dipolr-dipole, dipole-induced dipole, london dispersion, etc.
