The inside of the ball becomes filled with the air you pump in, thus inflating the ball and turning it from a flat ball to a round one.

Why does the basketball have greater pressure than the beach ball?

There are more particles of gas in the basketball than in the beach ball. So, more particles hit the inside surface of the basketball than hit the inside surface of the beach ball. When more particles hit the inside surface of the basketball, the force on the inside surface of the ball increases. This increased force leads to greater pressure, which makes the basketball feel harder than the beach ball. Hope this helps :)
