Abstract
The pressure effect on the temperature dependence of the resistivity and superconducting transition temperature for organic superconductor is studied. Pronounced anomalies of normal state (resistivity maximum near 80 K and inflection of R(T) curve at $\sim 50$ K) are found strongly suppressed under pressure and disappearing at P>560 bar. Simultaneously, a linear and monotonic decrease of $T_{\rm c}$ in the pressure range up to 750 bar is observed.
