With a greater concentration of a solute, osmotic pressure will increase. This is because osmotic pressure is directly proportional to the solute concentration in a solution; higher solute concentrations create a greater tendency for water to move into the area of higher solute concentration through a semipermeable membrane. As a result, more energy is required to counterbalance the movement of water, leading to increased osmotic pressure.
