Please update your code like below
  
trigger TriggerTesting on Account (after update) {

   Map<Id, Account> accountWithDes = new Map<Id, Account>();

    
    for(integer i=0; i<Trigger.new.size(); i++)
    {
         if(Trigger.new[i].Description !=Trigger.old[i].Description )
         {
             accountWithDes.put(Trigger.old[i].id, Trigger.New[i]);
         }
    }
       System.debug('Account Object '+accountWithDes);
    
    List<Contact> updateContact = new List<Contact>();
    List<Contact> contacts = [select id,accountId, Description from Contact where accountId in : accountWithDes.keySet()];
    System.debug('Contact Object '+contacts);
    for(Contact c : contacts )  
    {
		Account ac = accountWithDes.get(c.accountId);
		c.Description  = ac.Description;
		updateContact.add(c);
    }  
   
    if(updateContact.size() > 0 )
	{
		update updateContact;
    }
}

NOTE:- you was forget to add accountid in contact query
    List<Contact> contacts = [select id,accountId, Description from Contact where accountId in : accountWithDes.keySet()];

Hello Bhushan 
The following code will solve your problem.
Just you need to add the accountId in your SOQL  .
trigger TriggerTesting on Account (after update) {

   Map<Id, Account> accountWithDes = new Map<Id, Account>();

    
    for(integer i=0; i<Trigger.new.size(); i++)
    {
         if(Trigger.new[i].Description !=Trigger.old[i].Description )
         {
             accountWithDes.put(Trigger.old[i].id, Trigger.New[i]);
         }
    }
       System.debug('Account Object '+accountWithDes);
    
    List<Contact> updateContact = new List<Contact>();
    List<Contact> contacts = [select id,accountId, Description from Contact where accountId in : accountWithDes.keySet()];
    System.debug('Contact Object '+contacts);
    for(Contact c : contacts )  
    {
      Account ac = accountWithDes.get(c.accountId);
      c.Description  = ac.Description;
       updateContact.add(c);
      
    }  
   
   update updateContact;
    
}

Thanks

Hi,
Thank you very much for helping ,
I have added accountId in SOQL that problem resolved,    but while updating the list of contact it is throwing exception -

" Error:
TriggerTesting: execution of AfterUpdate caused by: System.DmlException: Update failed. First exception on row 0 with id 0032800000oURWlAAO; first error: CANNOT_INSERT_UPDATE_ACTIVATE_ENTITY, updateAccount: execution of AfterUpdate caused by: System.ListException: Duplicate id in list: 00128000016j29HAAQ Trigger.updateAccount: line 29, column 1: [] Trigger.TriggerTesting: line 30, column 1"

It is saying AccountId is duplicate but i am updating based on the ContactId, so why it is checking for AccountId, Please help me.

Thanks & Regards

    List<Contact> contacts = [select id, Description from Contact where accountId in : accountWithDes.keySet()];
    System.debug('Contact Object '+contacts);
    for(Contact c : contacts )  
    {
        Account ac = accountWithDes.get(c.accountId); // Error was coming due to this line you was try to access accountID without SOQL
        c.Description  = ac.Description;
        updateContact.add(c);
    }

Hi Amit,

yes i was getting this issue previous, but now i am getting error on the line  if(updateContact.size() > 0 )
    {
    update updateContact;//  here i am getting error
   }

It is because of duplicate accountId , but why it is looking for accountId of Contact object.

Please help.

Thanks & Regards
Bhushan

It look like you have some other trigger on account object updateAccount which is failing
Bhushan Singh 13Bhushan Singh 13
Hi Amit,
You are right , I have written updateAccount Trigger on the Contact, but how we can manage both trigger when i will written Trigger in the both Object, 
ex - I want to write Trigger on Contact Object for update Account and vise versa.

Please guide me . 
Thanks For helping immediatly.

Thanks & Regards
