By decreasing the container volume you can increase the pressure of gas assuming the temperature remains constant. Keep in mind that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume at a contain temperature.

This simply means, the more the volume the lesser the pressure, and the lesser the volume, the more the pressure.

If increasing the container volume will decrease the pressure and not increase it.
And also increasing the volume of gas will further decrease the pressure.
