Depends on what you mean by Congress. Technically, the Senate is one chamber of Congress and the House of Representatives is the other. Some people, though, refer to the House as Congress and the Senate as the Senate.
If in asking this question you are meaning 'Is the House more powerful than the Senate' the answer is no. The Senate is more powerful than the House due to its powers of advise and consent over treaties and presidential nominations for the judiciary and executive branches.
