Pressure is defined as the force acting per unit area of a surface. It is always perpendicular to the surface.
Hence, P = F/A
Here, P is the pressure exerted per unit area of a surface of total area A due to a force F.
Let P be the initial pressure on area A due to constant force F
P = F/A
Let P' be the pressure when the area of contact is doubled
P' = F/2A
Now, dividing these two equations
P/P' = (F/A)/(F/2A)
A bit of mathematics, and
P = 2P'
Or
P' = P/2
