Does compressor work more efficiently with an increased head pressure?

It depends on other conditions too. There is a net suction head, which is the pressure from which the compressor is drawing the gas. An increase here will often improve the compressor's efficiency. There is also a net discharge head, which is the pressure the compressor is trying to maintain. An increase here will often decrease the compressor's efficiency. There is an efficiency curve for all compressors, and they are all different based on their design, it is dependent on the differential pressure (NDH - NSH) and load (air flow in SCFM, typically) of the compressor, at a certain load the efficiency peaks then drops as the load increases.
