Solution

Pressure and thrust
Pressure is defined as the thrust acting per unit area.
$P r e s s u r e = \frac{T h r u s t}{A r e a} .$
According to the relationship between thrust and pressure, we can say that pressure is directly proportional to the thrust applied.
So with an increase in thrust, pressure will also increase.
When a force acts on a body perpendicular to its surface, it is called thrust.
Thus, If the thrust increases, pressure will increase.
