Answer:

See the explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The air will always move from a high pressure area to a lower pressure area, this can be easily deduced by the bernoulli equation, which tells us that the sum of the energy in point 1 must be equal to the energy in point 2. In order to better understand this equation an example will be shown.

In the figure we can see that the pressure at the point must be greater than the pressure at Point 2, so that air moves from Point 1 to point 2.
