Hii Thato 
Try Below Code 
Validation Rule

AND(ISNEW() , ISBLANK( AccountId) )


OR

trigger TestTrigger on Contact (before insert) {

    for(Contact Con: trigger.new) {
        if(Con.AccountId== null){
            Con.AddError('Can't Create Contact Without Account Assosiated');
        }  
    }
}

Please Mark It As Best Answer If it Helps
Thank You!
