Your question is a bit confusing.

Your actual Gmail password and your Apple ID password are not related to each other in any way.

You can manually set them to be the same sure, but they are in no way connected to each other. Changing one, does not automatically change the other.

If you need to change your Gmail password, you can do so from the Gmail website directly.

If you need to change your password for your Apple ID, that happens to use your Gmail address as its user name, the you can do that either directly on your iPhone or at https://appleid.apple.com
