The SI unit of the pressure p = F / A (force F divided by area A) is the pascal, equivalent to N/m² (N = newtons).

Pascal is the SI unit for pressure and is derived from other SI units using the following relationship: Pa = (kg×m/s²)/m² = kg/m×s² = N/m². Since 1 pascal is a very low pressure being 1/100 of a millibar, it's use is limited to ultra low gas pressure applications such as measuring the pressure differences in ventilation systems.

The pascal is more commonly used as larger multiples of the unit which are the hectopascal (hPa), kilopascal (kPa) and the megapascal (MPa) unit, these are more practical when measuring mid range pressures.

What is the SI unit it of pressure which is equal to 1 N exerted over 1 m2?

'Newton' is a unit of force, not pressure. They're different.The pressure on some area is the total force on the whole area divided by the area.The SI unit of pressure is the Pascal. 1 pascal of pressure means 1 newton of forcespread out over 1 square meter of area.
