Which outcome results when a material undergoing solid-liquid phase transition experiences increased pressure?

💡 Explanation

An increase in pressure on a solid-liquid system shifts the equilibrium via Le Chatelier's principle, favouring the denser phase; because solids are usually, though not always, denser, melting point increases as pressure increases; therefore melting temperature rises, rather than other phase changes which involve gas.
