Answer:
Actually, its the exact opposite. Newton's first law of motion states that every object will remain at rest unless an outside force acts upon it, proving flow is only caused by an outside force. This force may be gravity or contact with a spinning pump impeller. Pressure is a force per area and the cause of fluid motion. The amount of pressure applied to a fluid determines the flow.

The paragraph is basically correct for most applications. The previous first line is not, and I've eliminated it. The actual answer depends on the type of pump. The most common pump is a centrifugal pump. This type of pump basically accelerates the fluid (adds velocity). If you measure the pressure at a point at the outside of the volute of a normally operating centrifugal pump, it would be very low as the velocity is high there. At a point in the pipe slightly downstream of the pump, the pressure would be higher as the velocity is lower and the overall energy content of the fluid is essentially the same. The pressure and velocity are related in that both are components of the energy inherent in the fluid. This relationship is the Bernoullli equation.
But there are other types of pumps besides centrifugal. I'm thinking positive displacement pumps, like piston pumps, gear pumps, or peristaltic pumps. These pumps increase the pressure of the fluid directly, which results in higher flow in the system as a whole. They are less common than centrifugal pumps, but positive displacement pumps are a very significant share in the world of "pumps".
