Abstract
We examine the intuitive, classical idea that an interactive system involving commonly used attractive potentials should always have a pressure which is less than that of an ideal Fermi gas. We find that quantum effects are of crucial importance and that, while this idea is normally correct, under certain circumstances, the pressure can exceed that of the ideal Fermi gas.
