gas pressure
Confined vapor force
Gas pressure is the force exerted by gas molecules as they collide with the walls of their container or any surface.
The more molecules or the faster they move (from higher temperature), the greater the pressure.
The gas pressure in the tank was dangerously high.
Tire pressure, blood pressure, and atmospheric pressure are everyday examples of gas pressure at work.
