Pressurizing Air for Variable Nozzle Rocket Experiment

A high school student needs a way to pressurize air inside a bottle for a rocket experiment while allowing for variable nozzle throat areas. The goal is to measure the effect of nozzle area on thrust force. Current methods using a bike pump with a pressure gauge are impractical due to sealing and launching requirements.
