The term that accounts for intermolecular force in Vander Waal's equation for non-ideal gas is  (P+a/V^2​).

The term  (a/V^2​)  represents pressure correction due to the presence of intermolecular forces of attraction between gas molecules. Here the Van Der Waals constant ′a′ is a proportionality constant called the coefficient of attraction. Its value depends upon the nature of the gas.

(V–b) is represents the correct volume.
