Answer:

Increases

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because if there are more gas particles available within a given area, the greater the air density. Therefore, the greater the air density, there will be more gas particles per unit volume. Which indicate that there are more air particles bombarding with a surface. Therefore, the air pressure increases as the air density increases and visa versa.
