How does Pressure affect the solubility of gases?

Liquids and solids exhibit practically no change of solubility with changes in pressure.

Gases as might be expected, increase in solubility with an increase in pressure.

Henry's Law states that: The solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure of that gas above the surface of the solution.
