Force is a vector quantity as the forces follow the parallelogram law of addition of vectors. (or, the triangle law of addition). Thrust is a component of force acting on a body in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the body or fluid. Thrust follows vector addition rule.
Pressure does not follow this vector addition rule. That is why pressure is not treated as a vector. It is treated as a scalar.
Pressure does not follow this vector addition rule. That is why pressure is not treated as a vector. It is treated as a scalar.

difference between scalar and a vector quantity
quick
pls answer this question
A scalar quantity is a quantity which has only magnitude
A scalar quantity is a one dimensional measurement of a quantity, like temperature, or mass. A vector has more than one number associated with it. A simple example is velocity.
A vector quantity is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction

The term Thrust is defined as a force acting on an area normally(perpendicularly) at a 90 degree angle. It is vector because it depends on the numerical value (magnitude) as well as the direction (perpendicular)
The term pressure is defined as a force per unit (single) area. It is scalar because it depends only on the numerical value (magnitude) and it disregards the direction of which the force is acting.
