How? Please explain it.

Because with an increase in pressure the liquid composition is also increased as compared to vapour composition.

Because increased in pressure boiling point also increased.

With increase in pressure, Relative volatility decreases which leads to requirement of Large number of plates for the desired separation.
Hope it helps you !

Nice @Ashish.

Because an increase in total pressure than boiling point increase so for good separation maximum number of the plat.

Because increase in pressure drop boiling point of binary components gets closer to each other, and distillation becomes poor.
So, for the desired separation or better Mass transfer, we have to increase the number of stages to achieve the desired purity in the product.
