repressurizes

Pumps air back

Repressurizes means to restore pressure to something that has lost it.

The term appears most often in technical contexts—spacecraft cabins, aircraft, diving chambers, or industrial systems that must maintain specific pressure levels: The crew repressurizes the airlock before opening the inner hatch.

The word implies a return to a previous pressurized state after intentional or accidental depressurization.
