Answer:

As the height increases the pressure must increase.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we add masses to the fluid, the amount of fluid in the tank increases, therefore its height increases and the pressure is described by the expression

P = ρ g h

where rho is constant for a given fluid and h is the height measured from the surface of the fluid.

As the height increases the pressure must increase.
