 Due to acceleration towards right, there will be a pseudo force in a left direction. So the pressure will be more on rear side (Points A and B) in comparison with front side (Point D and C). Also due to height of liquid column pressure will be more at the bottom (points B and C) in comparison with top (point A and D).
