Incorrect spelling, explanation: there is no reason why someone would write this word with the double -s letter. The noun presence comes from Old French and Latin and we have to look at its roots while spelling. The mistake may occur because many English words are spelled with the double consonants, but the only correct form is presence, not pressence.

Correct spelling, explanation: the noun presence is a derivation of the adjective present. This word comes from Old French presence (12c., Modern French présence) and from Latin praesentia. It consists of two parts: the root and the suffix. Nothing in the etymology indicates that it should be spelled with the double -s letter, so pressence is just a mistake. Moreover, the base word is spelled with only one -s, so the noun also features one -s letter.
