"more collisions → greater collision force → higher pressure."
Explanation: at constant volume and temperature, adding particles increases the collision frequency with the walls, so more momentum is transferred per unit time (greater net force on the walls), which raises the pressure. (The impulse per collision stays the same if temperature is unchanged; it's the increased number of collisions that increases the net force.)
