Pressure is Force per Unit Area.
Pressure is the force on an object that is spread over a surface area. The equation for pressure is the force divided by the area where the force is applied.
:-If area is less then pressure will be more(eg:-pointed pin has less area that's why we easily pin it into the wall).
:-if area is more then pressure will be less(eg:-stripes of schools bags)

Helloo!!
pressure depend on the area of the surface on which a normal force is being applied By adding "more weight on top", you are also increasing the volume, so density probably isn't the right way to think about it
hope it helps
