The force acting on bigger piston is,

$F=m g$

$F=3000 kg \times 9.8 m / s ^{2}$

$F=29400 N$

The area of the piston is,

$A=425 cm ^{2}=425 \times 10^{-4} m ^{2}$

The pressure acting on the bigger piston is,

$P=\frac{F}{A}$

$P=\frac{29400 N }{425 \times 10^{-4} m ^{2}}$

$P=6.92 \times 10^{5} Pa$
