The particles of gas are constantly moving with a higher speed than solids or liquids. This enables a gas to exert more pressure on walls of any container through collisions of molecules of gas with molecules of the container.

According to kinetic theory, the molecule of a gas are in a state of continuous random motion. They collide with one another and also with the walls of vessel.
Whenever a molecule collides with a wall, it returns with a changed momentum and an equal momentum is transferred to the wall.
