Because Ralph makes fun of his name.

Explanation:

When the boys decided to elect a chief among them through votes, Piggy hesitated at first as he felt that Jack would obviously win the position as the chief. Piggy, however, votes for Ralph grudgingly though he was mad at Ralph for making fun of him earlier and Ralph ultimately becomes their chief. The reason why Piggy hesitated in making his decision was to show that he was mad at Ralph for making fun of his name.
