Solubility of a substance changes as the pressure changes. If the pressure is high, solubility increases. When pressure is low, solubility decreases.

At 1 atm the solubility of Nitrogen in water is 23.5 mg gas/110g water.

The solution is submerged 40 m under water. Solubility increase.

The solution is carried to the top of a mountain. Solubility decrease.

The solution is placed in a chamber where the pressure is 0.50 atm. Solubility decrease.

The solution is brought into outer space. Solubility decrease.

The solution is canned at a pressure of 2.04 atm. Solubility increase.
