To remember: Hyperconjugation is the stabilising interaction that results from the interaction of the electrons in a σ-bond (usually C-H or C-C) with an adjacent empty or partially filled p-orbital or a π-orbital to give an extended molecular orbital that increases the stability of the system. [Further information][1]. **The proposed systems to take into account.** Looking at the resonance structures (which is a synonym of [mesomeric effect][2]) of the propene [![Resonance structures of propene][3]][3] and acetic acid [![Resonance structures of acetic acid][4]][4] Therefore, in hyperconjugation analysis you need to look at the position of the electron density. Not the vicinal hydrogen. Moreover and with the aim to give a complete answer, the hyperconjugation of the acetic acid can be very well understood at [here][5].
