Explanation

Turgor pressure in plant cells is sustained by both the high ionic concentration inside vacuoles, which results from active ion pumping across the tonoplast membrane, and the consequent increase in osmotic pressure within the vacuole. Simply having many vacuoles does not directly increase turgor pressure.
