• A. decrease in pressure
• B. increase in pressure
• C. constant pressure
• D. increase and then decrease in pressure

Answer 1

The correct option is B

increase in pressure

It is easier to cook food in the pressure cookers because the boiling point of water increases with the increase in the pressure. In the pressure cookers, the water boils at ${120}^{0}C$. Hence, high temperature exists inside the pressure cooker.
