Pressure is defined as the derivative of normal force with respect to surface area. Pressure is proportional to the normal force, and inversely proportional to the surface area. As the normal force over a surface area varies so does pressure.
In the case that pressure is increasing then either the normal force is increasing, the surface area of which the normal force is being exerted is decreasing, or the combination of both of these is occurring.

It is possible to increase the amount of pressure by blank the area where force is applied?
The surface area
What do you do to increase the amount of pressure by whwere the force is applied?
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.
If a constant force is spread over an area and that area gets smaller what happens?
If the force remains constant, then the pressure - which is force per unit area - will increase.
What will happen in force when area decreases?
pressure will increase
Amount of force applied to an area?

If you increase force keeping the area the same what happens to pressure?
if force increaces and area stays the same then pressure

How do you increase pressure and decrease pressure?
Pressure is given by the equation P = F/A, where F is force and A is the area it's applied over. For a solid or liquid, you can increase pressure just by pushing harder on it. For a gas, pressure is approximately given by P = (n*R*T)/V, where n is how much gas you have in moles, T is the temperature in kelvin, V is the volume of the container, and R is a constant. So to increase pressure, either increase the amount of gas, increase the temperature, or decrease the volume of the container.
What will happen to the pressure inside the container if the volume of a container of gas is reduced?
The pressure inside the container will increase. Pressure (P) is force(F) divided by the area(A) it hits on. If you decrease the area, you increase the pressure.
What is a force that relates to the amount of force put on a given surface area?
Pressure!
How does surface area and force affect pressure?
Pressure is force per area, so P = F/A where pressure is P, force is F and A is area. So Pressure is directly proportional to the force exerted on a surface. So increasing a force by a factor of 2, say, increases the pressure on the surface by 2 also.
When you increase the area over which pressure is applied?
The pressure decreases because P = F/a where "P" is pressure, "F" is force, and "a" is area.
