We report inelastic neutron scattering study of a quasi-two-dimensional S=1/2 dimer system piperazinium hexachlorodicuprate under hydrostatic pressure. The spin gap {Delta} becomes softened with the increase of the hydrostatic pressure up to P = 9.0 kbar. The observed threefold degenerate triplet excitation at P = 6.0 kbar is consistent with the theoretical prediction and the bandwidth of the dispersion relation is unaffected within the experimental uncertainty. At P = 9.0 kbar the spin gap is reduced to {Delta} = 0.55 meV from {Delta} = 1.0 meV at ambient pressure.
