Several things would happen to substance as it goes into a black hole. First and most obvious, it gets accelerated towards the black hole owing to gravitational influence (if it reaches relativistic speeds, this effect alone can cause it to shorten in the direction of acceleration, increase in mass, slow in time for a distant observer, and evidence other effects). Particularly for smaller black holes it would be 'spaghettified', or stretched thin by tidal forces near the black hole. Likely it will interact with the accretion disk and owing to friction and related effects, superheat to plasma temperature and emit significant amount of radiation including at x-ray energy - in fact black holes are quite efficient at converting matter to energy in this manner, perhaps as high as 40 percent of the mass might be lost this way. Once it crosses the event horizon, or boundary at which escape velocity is the speed of light, it would never leave; it must inevitably end up in the singularity at the black hole's center where all mass is concentrated. At that point the nature of the matter changes, our current physical theory does not yet describe the state of the substance at that point - or whether the substance remains matter at all, but theory indicates it occupies zero volume, has infinite density - and for it, due to relativistic effects, time stops entirely.

What happens to a substance when the pressure goes up?

The substance will be compressed (increase in density) and if the compression is adiabatic, the temperature will go up since there is work being done on the system.


What happens in a black hole that makes the saying "what happens in a black hole stays in a black hole" true?

In a black hole, gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. This means that whatever goes into a black hole is trapped inside forever, making the saying "what happens in a black hole stays in a black hole" true.
