Pressure increases going down due to the weight of the air above pushing down on the air below. This results in an increase in the number of air molecules above a given point, leading to a greater force being exerted on that point, which increases the pressure.

Does the pressure in the atmosphere increase or decrease?

Going farther up into air, pressure decreases. Going down, pressure increases. When you think about it, more air is pressing down on you when you are standing on earth because more is on top of you. When you are up in the air, there isn't as much air pressing on you which shows that there isn't as much pressure. The same concept applies when under water; The farther you go under, more water is pressing on you than when you are more towards the surface which=more pressure (underwater).
