Create new ValueObject when comparing or use int values?

Question

Software design

Some function that compares values.

public function equalToRatingOrHigher(int $rating) : bool
    {
        return $this->rating >= $rating;
    }

// или так правильно

  public function equalToRatingOrHigher(UserRating $rating) : bool
    {
        return $this->rating >= $rating->rating();
    }

Can you please tell me which form is correct and why?
