What happens within a contracting cloud in which gravity is stronger than pressure?

It continues to contract and collapse. In accordance with Boyle's Law, the compression of any gas also increases the temperature and pressure; at some point, the contraction will stop when pressure and gravity are equally balanced.
With a very massive cloud of hydrogen, it's possible that the force of gravity will cause the extreme pressure and temperature sufficient to begin hydrogen fusion. At that point, as they say in Hollywood, "A Star Is Born".

What happens to the force of gravity on a satellite as it gets closer to the sun?
The forces of gravity between any two objects depend on the mass of theobjects ... stronger for greater mass ... and on the distance between them ...stronger for smaller distance.
What happens as gravity increases the pressure on the matter within a star?
The Rate of Fusion Increases
What happens when the outward force of pressure wins out over gravity in an old star?
They eplode into supernovas.
What happens when the sun's gravity combines with the Moon's gravity and where does it occur?
The gravitational pull of the moon and sun combined just makes the force stronger, and it causes high tides in the oceans.
What happens when the gravity of a massive star overcomes neutron degeneracy pressure?
The core contracts and becomes a black hole.
What happens within a contracting cloud in which gravity is stronger than pressure if its temperature remains the same as it contracts?
It breaks into smaller fragments.

What happens when gravity changes?
The mass(kg) of a human does not change, but the weight(N) of a human does. If gravity gets stronger, you get squashed(!), but if it gets lighter, you float around!

What happens if you drop a coin from a high building?
If its not a huge big coin - maybe a penny or so, it should fly right back into the building due to upward air pressure glidin up the walls of the building is stronger than the gravity pull.
Does a star 'explode' or 'implode' into a blackhole?
The usual term is "collapse". This happens when the gas and radiation pressure, or degenerate pressure, is no longer enough to counteract gravity.
What happens when the gravity of a massive star overcomes neutron degeneracy pressure?
The core contracts and becomes a black hole.
When does storm form?
Storms form when a low pressure area appears, it usually appears in the Pacific, then as excessive evaporation happens because of too much heat clouds form w/c is then "sucked in" the low pressure area making it stronger, as more evaporation happens the storm becomes stronger.
What happens when the gravity of a massive star is ablle to overcome neutron degeneration?
When the gravity of a neutron star overcomes the degeneracy pressure of the neutrons, the neutron star collapses into a black hole.
