Since particles of gases move in every possible direction, they continuously collide with other particles and also with the walls of a container.
When the particles hit the wall on a unit area, they exert an unbalanced force on the wall of a container. This force, when divided by area, gives to pressure.
or, The pressure a gas exerts on the walls of a container is the collective force collisions of the gas molecules exert on the container walls, per unit of surface area. Pressure is a measurement of force/unit area.
