Actually, both forms are right. A few adjectives have two comparative forms.

narrow: narrower or more narrow

simple: simpler or more simple

They can be used interchangeably, and one isn't considered more or less grammatically correct than the other. Consider the following sentences:

The (most simple, simplest) form of communication is with the larynx.

You will find this to be the (most simple, simplest) form of action.

Basically, use your instincts or preference.
