Too late, too late the maiden cried...

(mass is a quantity of material, pressure is a force acting on an area. Why would they be related?)

In a nutshell, there is no relation. Mass has mass units, while pressure has a force unit per unit area. If the mass is causing the pressure, the mass would be related to force by
F= mass x accleration, where accleration is that due to gravity.

the higher the pressure, the greater the density and mass
the lower the pressure, the less the density and mass
