Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Pressure will expand a gas, enlarging its volume and reducing its density and concentration of particles. Pressure will magnify a gas, developing its volume and multiplying its density and concentration of particles.

Increasing the pressure of a gas is exactly the same as increasing its concentration. If you have a given mass of gas, the way you increase its pressure is to squeeze it into a smaller volume. If you have the same mass in a smaller volume, then its concentration is higher.
