The word -proud- is an adjective. Comparable forms for adjectives are comparative and superlative.

As you have phrased the question, -more prouder- is the comparative form of proud. And it is incorrect grammatically.

The general rule (although there are exceptions) is:

One syllable words: add an -er- at the end.

Two syllable words: add either an -er- at the end or the word -more- before it.

Three syllable words: add the word -more- before the word.

Since -proud- is a one syllable word, the proper comparative is -prouder-.

-More prouder- is not only incorrect, but it's also redundant.

There are different words with different shades of meaning: If we are proud of our children, we might also say that we are pleased with them. If we are overly proud of ourselves, we are arrogant, pompous, imperious, self-important, pretentious. If we consider ourselves much better than others because of our pride, we might be snooty, snobbish, aloof,scornful. If a building is proud, we can say that it is grand or impressive.

But both are correct. They are just variations of Engish comparatives.
