Answer:

At high pressure, the mean free path of electrons is quite small. The electrons don't get enough time to get accelerated. If the electrons don't accelerate for long, they can't gain the high velocity or kinetic energy that is required to ionize other atoms. So gases can not conduct electricity at higher pressures.
