Answer:

The force is proportional to the area, for if we increase the area but keep the number of molecules per cubic centimeter the same, we increase the number of collisions with the piston in the same proportion as the area was increased.

Step-by-step explanation:

more area =more space = more free for molecules = less pressure = less force.
