the boiling point increases with increase in pressure
Pressure cookers work by sealing in all the gasses. The water in the pressure cooker will boil and fill the container with water vapor. The added water vapor increases the pressure inside the container. The higher something is under pressure the more heat it will take for it to boil. This means that the water inside the pressure cooker will be able to gain more heat and cook the food faster. Pressure cookers have a valve at the top in order to release the pressure if it becomes too high and saves it from becoming a bomb.

Pressure cookers work by sealing food inside pot with an interlocking lid. As the cooking liquid heats and begins to evaporate, the pressure builds within the pot. This raises the boiling point of the liquid from 212°F to about 250°F.
Both the increased temperature and the high pressure cause the food to cook at double or even triple the normal rate. Collagen in the meat also melts much more quickly into Gelatin, which is a process that normally takes several hours.
One of the risks of cooking meat in a pressure cooker is winding up with meat that's as dry as cardboard since much of the moisture gets squeeze out during cooking. Be sure to use cuts of meat that are high in fat or collagen when cooking in a pressure cooker, which keep the meat moist and tender.
What do you cook in your pressure cooker?
so yes
Pressure cooking works by using steam to cook food. During pressure cooking liquid is sealed inside an air tight cooking pot. As the temperature rises inside the cooking pot the liquid is vaporized, increasing the pressure inside the pressure cooker.&As the pressure rises so does the maximum temperature the liquid inside the pot can reach cooking food faster.
Pressure cookers, as it says on the tin, use pressure to cook. The sealer container does not allow air or liquid to escape, except below some preset pressure. As the pressure increases, so does water's boiling point, which allows the liquid to reach a higher temperature without boiling. At the beginning, the boiling liquid creates steam, which is trapped, and this increases the pressure inside of the cooker.

Pressure cookers work because when you increase pressure, water boils at a higher temperature. Water normally boils at 212 degrees F. Under 15psi of pressure (standard in a pressure cooker), it boils at 257 degrees F. Since your food is cooking at a higher temperature, it will cook faster.
