pressurizes
Increases internal force
Pressurizes means to raise or maintain pressure inside something.
Aircraft cabins are pressurized to keep air breathable at high altitudes.
Scuba tanks are pressurized with compressed air.
The figurative sense means to apply psychological pressure: The deadline pressurized everyone into working overtime.
This figurative use is more common in British English; Americans typically say "pressures."
