The same way a chemical rocket works. Instead of burning fuel to create a force to propel the rocket, stored pressure released in one direction propels the rocket.
Both chemical and pressure rockets make use of Newton's Third Law of Motion, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

What is a rocket toy name?
A popular rocket toy name is the "Stomp Rocket." It is a toy rocket launcher that uses air pressure to propel foam rockets into the air when stomped on.
What speed do firework rockets travel at?
speed of rocket fire work
What uses air pressure to work?
air
How a rocket launches off the ground by using Newton's law of motion?
The third law applies here. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. When the rocket fuel is ignited it exerts enormous thrust directed downwards. If the rocket is not constrained to the launching pad (with very very heavy restraints) it sees no other way to nullify the enormous thrust but to set itself in motion. Soon as more fuel burns, the rocket accelerates. As a side, if the rocket was restrained with very heavy agents, these agents (in the form of nuts and bolts or whatever) will have to bear the thrust of the rocket engine. For the non-scientist: Consider a balloon with large pressure inside relative to small pressure outside. It doesn't move up, because there is an equal force down (inside). It doesn't move right, because there is an equal force on the left side (on the inside of the balloon). If you put a hole in the balloon (the inside gas rushes out due to the difference in pressure) there is an unbalance of forces. On one side, there is internal pressure, but on the other side there is a hole (around no pressure). So the balloon moves to the opposite side of the hole. Rockets work the same way (more or less).
Do you need a small rocket or big rocket to go to Mars?
big rocket
How much pressure did the Saturn V rocket exert?
5 Million Newtons was the pressure exerted by Saturn v rocket
What is it called when combustion occur in a rocket's engine and releases heat and pressure making a larger pressure gradient inside the rocket than outside which causes the gaseous products?
Thrust occurs when combustion in a rocket's engine releases heat and pressure making a larger pressure gradient inside the rocket than outside which causes the gaseous products?
What effect does pressure have on a bottle rocket?
it pushes the rocket into the air to make it go higher.
How is a real rocket able to blast into space?
the pressure from the the rocket's fuel thingy makes the rocket go up. pretty soon, the rocket is in space.
If a rocket engine fires the exhaust to the left the rocket will go to the right which of newton's law describes this condition?
Newton's Third Law of Motion: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Understand that it is not the exhaust that makes a rocket or reaction motor work, but the force that is applied where no resistance exists. A rocket can be compared to a balloon. The inflated balloon has pressure in all directions, and so does not move. Opening the neck means that there is no pressure at the neck end, and the pressure at the opposite side of the balloon makes it move forward.
Why center of pressure is below center of gravity?
I assume you are talking about a model rocket. Center of pressure needs to be below center of gravity in order for the rocket to fly straight. Mathematically, the rocket will tilt around the center of gravity but appear to be pushed from the center of pressure, hence the need for the center of pressure to be below the center of gravity, otherwise the rocket will just corkscrew off the pad. The fins move the center of pressure down.
What makes a bottle rocket fly?
Pressure builds up, and when it is released it forces the rocket up.
What is a rocket toy name?
A popular rocket toy name is the "Stomp Rocket." It is a toy rocket launcher that uses air pressure to propel foam rockets into the air when stomped on.
What determines how much thrust is generated in a solid fuel rocket engine at any given time?
The amount of exposed surface area of the fuel
How does the pressure make the water bottle rocket work?
The pressure pushes in all directions save one, downward (toward the nozzle). All the forces are balanced except one: the push on the top of the bottle.
When combustion reactions occur inside a rocket's engine a lot of heat and pressure are released The pressure gradient is much larger inside the rocket than outside which causes the?
thrust
A rocket achieves lift off due to what?
Burning rocket fuel exerts pressure on the rocket nozzle. Note that this happens regardless of whether there is any air for the exhaust to push against. It is simply a matter of expanding gasses which exert pressure.
