Pressure is the force acting per unit area.
We can increase the pressure by applying same force by reducing the area of action of that force.

Pressure is theoretically described as the force that is applied on an unit area of a surface.
We can represent pressure by the simple formula, Pressure = Force / Area.
Pressure can be increased by decreasing the area of a surface so that more force will be applied at a place.
It is because pressure is inversely proportional to the area and hence as area decreases, pressure will increase simultaneously.
