Best Answer

The number and vibration of the molecules that make up the gas cause the pressure.

1-when the gas particles bump into each other they increase the number of collision between the gas particles which increase the pressure.

2-when a gas is compressed they exert more pressure on the walls of the container

As the temperature inside a container increases the kinetic energy in the container produced by the molecules increases. Subsequently a greater force of pressure is given off by what's in the container compared to what is pushing down upon it. So therefore motion causes the exertion in pressure.

Pressure is defined as force acting per unit area.The pressure in a gas is caused by bombardment of freely moving gas particle on the wall of the container this causes pressure in a gas
