If anything, DSIII is much harder, at least in the back half.

Which game is harder Dark Souls 3 or Elden Ring?

Elden Ring can be a lot harder than DS 3, if you are determined to beat every boss/area alone and without decent exploration. However, what (to my mind, at least) separates Elden Ring from DS 3 and indeed every FromSoft title to date is that you will never hit a brick wall and have no alternative.

Around halfway through the game is when the difficulty starts to kick in. Enemies are less forgiving, faster and more deadly. Areas are larger and bonfires fewer and far between... still, if you've played a lot of Soulsborne stuff, this will seem run-of-the-mill and even normal for you.
