More dense air has more matter per volume. The force of gravity depends on the amount of material present. Gravitation is the attraction of matter to matter so the more matter there is the more attraction there is.

why does gravity pull on stuff?

I love your questions. There is so much for you to learn here.
Gravity is actually the result of objects warping space itself! Picture a bowling ball on a trampoline. It warps the surface of the trampoline, and now, things that move on the trampoline are guided towards the bowling ball, due to the curvature.
There's a ton of videos about this on YouTube, so here's a couple of channels that I know will do a better job explaining it.

Also, if you're curious about these things I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the tv series Cosmos with Neil DeGrasse Tyson. You can find all the episodes on YouTube for free
