Piggy
Because Piggy knows how to blow the conch but Ralph is the one who actually blows the conch
When Ralph first spots the conch in the lagoon Piggy tells him, "I knew a boy who had one of those, on his garden wal it was, they are ever so valuable." He later tells Ralph that the boy, "he used to blow it to make a noise," and explains to Ralph that the boy blew from his diaphragm in order to get a noise from the conch shell. So although Ralph actually finds, recovers and blows the conch. Piggy identifies it correctly and informs Ralph that it can be blown.
Piggy doesn't find the conch Ralph does. I quote... "What's that?" Ralph had stopped smiling and was pointing into the lagoon. Something creamy lay among the ferny weeds.
It broke when Piggy fell off the ledge and when the rock landed on both Piggy and the conch.

Ralph represents the leadership and authority associated with the conch, using it to maintain order and call meetings. Piggy, on the other hand, provides intellectual support by advising Ralph on how to use the conch effectively and reminding him of its importance. Together, they form a balanced partnership that combines physical and intellectual strengths in managing the group.
The conch in "Lord of the Flies" breaks when Piggy is killed by Roger, who pushes a large rock that strikes Piggy and shatters the conch. This moment symbolizes the loss of order and civilization on the island.
