the greater the number of air molecules pushing on the area , the greater the PRESSURE

Step-by-step explanation

Air pressure is the weight of air molecules pressing down thr are


\begin{gathered} P=(F)/(A) \\ where\text{ F is the force exerted by the air} \\ A\text{ is the area} \end{gathered}

so

the pression is directly proportional to the forcem and the force depends on the number of molecules,

therefore,the answer is

the greater the number of air molecules pushing on the area , the greater the PRESSURE

I hope this helps you
