According to conventional quantum field theory and conventional
general relativity, this is clearly wrong -- creation of particles
from the vacuum does *not* "increase negative pressure" or "increase
gravity proportionally." It is *possible* that the creation of
certain, very particular types of particles affects the cosmological
constant -- see, for example, http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0408080 --
but this claim is controversial, and if correct, it only holds for a
very limited class of particles. Furthermore, the effect is probably
to *decrease* the magnitude of negative pressure.

Your claim may be true in some speculative new theory of your own
invention (one in which you are not yet able to actually *compute*
anything, as far as I can tell). If this is what you mean, you
ought to say so.
