Answer:
Molecules of gases are contiually colloiding with each other and with the walls of container. When molecule colloids with the wall, they exert small force on the wall the pressure. The pressure exerted by the gas is due to the sum of all these collision forces. The more particles that hit the walls, the pressure will increase.
The pressure exerted by a gas is due to the random motion of particles in the gas. Gases have weak intermolecular forces and the particles in continuous random motion and these particles collide with the walls of the container. These collisions with the walls of the container exerts pressure on the gas.
