Why would raising the pressure in an equilibrium increase the rate of reaction?

It increases the concentration of gas molecules and therefore there are more successful collisions more frequently.

Why is the use of high pressure in an equilibrium expensive?

A large amount of energy is needed to maintain this high pressure.
