Pressure is force divide by unit area. Thus, if you have an air pressure of 100,000 Pascal, that means you have a force of 100,000 newton over an area of 1 square meter. It also means there is a force of 200,000 newton over an area of 2 square meters, a million newton over an area of 10 square meters, etc.

A pressure is a force per unit area. If you have a huge force but it is distributed over a very large area, you will only have a small pressure.
