The more air the higher it will bounce, the less air the lower it will bounce assuming the exact same amount of force is applied in each case.

The reason it bounces higher with more air is because the outer cover is drawn tighter when more air is applied internally. The tighter the cover the higher it will bounce because it has more spring to it.
