Osmotic pressure- The excess pressure is exerted on the surface of solution to just prevent Osmosis is called osmotic pressure. It depends upon the molal concentration. Hence it is a colligative property. 

According to van't Hoff π ∝ C (At constant temp.) and π ∝ t (At constant concentration) Both laws are combined, we have

π ∝ cT and c = n/V

π = RcT

∴ π = (n/V)RT

or, πV = nRT

or, π = (W/M)RT

where,  M = Molecular weight and 

R = Gas constant
