If we increase the surface area of a given surface without changing the force acting on it, then the pressure acting on it will ______ (increase/decrease/remain the same)

Decrease

Explanation:

The pressure is the force per unit area. So, P=F/A

Thus the pressure P is inversely proportional to contact area A.

So when area increases , the pressure will be decreasing.
