Answer:

this is because of collisions of molecules present in that particular system.

Step-by-step explanation:

For instance, when air is filled in a balloon then the number of the molecules of air inside the balloon increases. As a result more collisions of molecules take place with the walls. This gives rise to high air pressure on the walls which causes the balloon to expand and get inflated.
