The effect of pressure on the superconductivity of “111”-type Na
FeAs is investigated through temperature-dependent electrical-resistance measurements in a diamond anvil cell. The superconducting transition temperature 
increases from 26 K to a maximum of 31 K as the pressure increases from ambient pressure to 3 GPa. Further increasing pressure suppresses Tc drastically. The behavior of pressure-tuned Tc in NaFeAs is much different from that in LixFeAs, although they have the same Cu2Sb-type structure.
