the pressure comes from the context - you're in an interview situation, faced with a previously unknown task (presumably you haven't done something similar before). The result of this "test" determines your candidacy in the job (presumably you want or need this job).
It's like asking why a bomb defuser feels pressured.

The stakes and environment aren't even close for this to be a meaningful comparison. A job interview will always carry some degree of pressure, no matter the circumstances. What I fail to understand is why would someone feel more threatened by this scenario as opposed to, say, answering a barrage of technical question or solving algorithmic problems.
