Folks often confuse pressure with volume as line resistance reduces the volume of flow that appears as poor water pressure. If the static water pressure is low to begin with, changing the size of the line won't give you more pressure but if the pressure drops due to line loss, a larger line will help.
Using Sylvan's garden hose analogy, if you measured how fast you can fill a pail directly from the sillcock and observed the apparent pressure, then connected a 100 foot long 1/2 inch hose and repeated the test at the far end of the hose, you would have less volume and the pressure would appear to be less. Repeat the test with 5/8 inch hose and you would likely have more volume and apparent pressure. Testing with 3/4 inch commercial garden hose would be better still despite the fact the sillcock and pipe leading up to it are less than 3/4 inch. Increasing the line size does have diminishing returns when there are restrictions upstream.
