Mass is something that acts as a resistance to a force. According to Newton's Second Law: F=ma, force is defined as mass accelerated. Pressure is the force felt upon a given area. Air pressure would be the force of the air (here the mass of the air under the gravitational pull of the Earth) over a given area (a square meter, for instance). A typical air pressure might be 14.7 PSI (pounds per square inch, since pounds are force units).
