Gas pressure through the turbine section will generally
- increase.
- remain the same.
- decrease.
Explanation from PART66Online
As the gas expands and gives up energy across each turbine stage, its pressure falls progressively through the turbine section. This pressure drop is what drives the blades and is converted into shaft work to turn the compressor. Gas pressure therefore decreases through the turbine rather than increasing or staying constant.

y is it decrease?

Hello.
Yes, it decreases because turbine absorbs gas energy.

Because turbine section is convergent so velocity increase and pressure decrease as well as temperature decrease

previously posted is wrong...i think in combustion the velocity will increase and pressure slightly decrease after combustion chamber the velocity remain increase and pressure decrease at turbine section

but check it, I could be wrong.

Good explanation about that question can be found here, check "Turbine" chapter: skybrary.aero/bookshelf/books/1621.pdf

it decreases and in the compressor it increases.
