pressure is a vector quantity because it has only magnitude and no direction
force is scalar quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.
Pressure depends on the amount of force and the area over which the force is applied. More force - more pressure. More area - less pressure. In fact, pressure is directly proportional to force, and inversely proportional to area
