a more molecules per unit area means less air pressure.
b it would increase the total amount of molecules striking the boundary of the container.
c adding molecules would actually not have an affect on air pressure.
d more molecules equals less collisions in the container.
Air pressure is caused by the collision of gas molecules with the container walls. Adding more molecules increases the number of molecules striking the container boundary.
