I don't understand this pawn fork

I don't understand this pawn fork

This scenario is from a course I'm doing on Chessable.

The choice was between taking white's pawn on d5 with either my queen or my bishop. Taking with a bishop is apparently a blunder, while taking with the queen is the correct move. I don't understand, surely I'm getting pawn forked on the next move either way?!
