Th Ideal Gas Law states:
P=pRT
P=pressure
p=density
R=dry gas constant
T=temperature
This equation shows us that pressure and temperature have a one-to-one relationship, so if pressure goes up temperature goes up.
For a pressure cooker, increasing the pressure causes water to boil at a higher temperature than normal. This means food cooks faster and gets hotter.

bigger is the pressure, bigger is the temperature. So food cooks faster. this is physics!
