Imagine carrying a bag of sand. It’s heavy, isn’t it?
Imagine two people carrying a bag of sand. Not as heavy, is it?

Pressure happens when you apply force across a surface. If the surface is big, the force is spread out and “shared” by everything the surface touches, so the pressure is lower. If the surface is small, the force is NOT spread out as much thus the pressure is higher. The smaller the surface, the higher the pressure.
