Because the deeper you go the more water you have on top of you, every 10 meters you go under water, you have another atmosphere on top of you, the wieg that is pressed to you is what causes the pressure

The deeper the bubbles are in the ocean, the greater the pressure is. As they rise to the surface, the pressure decreases, allowing the bubbles to expand.

How does pressure determine whether the mantle is solid or liquid?

The melting temperature of materials is affected by their confining pressure. The higher the pressure the higher the melting temperature. As such as you move deeper into the mantle, the tempraeture will increase, but because of the overlying material so to will the confining pressure which drives up the melting temperature. When high temperature mantle material moves nearer to the surface such as near a mid-ocean-ridge the confining pressure falls faster than the materials temperature and this can cause the melting point to drop below the temperature of the material leading to melting.
