Do you have any ideas?  
The close spacing of pressure isobars would mean there is a steep pressure gradient of air. This is similar to the gradient lines on a contour map; the closer the lines are together, the steeper the gradient of the land.

It's okay, meteorology can be tough.  When the isobars, or lines on a weather map are close together it means that there is s big change in pressure.  When there is a big change in pressure, that causes a thunderstorm.
