Right from the start, the terms "strong" and "favors" should be defined. Natural selection "favors" simply in that the mechanism allows the continuation of those who are better suited to their environment. "Strong" and "fittest" are synonymous in this regard, because it's not referring to physical strength.

Natural selection only favors those who are able to survive long enough to reproduce and thus pass on their genes. That's all there really sis to it.

How does environmental pressure affect natural selection?

When nothing happens to exert strong population pressure on that population, natural selection favors the allele frequency already present. When mutations cause new traits, natural selection weeds these traits out because they're not as efficient as the others.
