Answer:

Increase the temperature of the chemical reaction.

Step-by-step explanation:

the reason you would increase the temperature to increase pressure is that heat usually makes reactions occur faster but also expands the gasses and solids itself. the expansion of gasses and solids creates more pressure in a closed-system.
