The amount of force applied and the area of the surface to which it is applied.
The surface area
Force applied on unit area gives pressure. S.I. unit is pascal.
Since Pressure is Force per Unit Area (P = F/A), there are intuitively two ways to increase pressure. You can either keep the area constant and increase the force being applied, or keep the force constant and decrease the area on which the force acts.
Pressure is defined as the force per unit area. It is expressed in Pascals
The surface area
The amount of force applied and the area of the surface to which it is applied.

That is pressure. It is the force over an area applied to an object in a direction perpendicular to the surface.p = F / A where:p is the pressure,F is the normal force,A is the area.
The Law of Applied Force states that a body's change in mass is proportional to the amount of force applied to it.
Since Pressure is Force per Unit Area (P = F/A), there are intuitively two ways to increase pressure. You can either keep the area constant and increase the force being applied, or keep the force constant and decrease the area on which the force acts.
Pressure = Force / Area It's basically the force applied to something over the amount of area that force is applied on to. This means that smaller plate with the same weight as another plate will sink further into mud. Hope that helped :)
When the area over which a force is applied decreases, the average force applied over said area increases. In other words, the pressure (force/area) increases.
