Air warms up when it gets compressed. The equation is PV = NrT where P is pressure, V is volume, N is a number of molecules, r is the gas constant and T is the temperature.

What is the air pressure is like at higher altitudes?

If this is about weather, then high pressure is usually related to fine and warm weather. If this is about engineering, then anything goes. When air is compressed, it gets hot, but eventually it'll cool off and then you'll have high pressure and low temperature.
