"...with his personal question"が自然、"...in his personal questions"が不自然。
In my experience, "in..." used this way is only speaking of actions. So...
"George is way too persistent in asking personal questions" is ok.
"You're really taking a risk in cutting the rope"
他の"with"の例文...
"That assassin is too dangerous with daggers in his hand."
"You need to stop with the endless McDonalds hamburgers."
"I don't know how walk calmly with her next to me."
