Measurements of the electrical resistivity ? of an antiferromagnetic Kondo compound BaNiSn3-type CeCuAl3 at pressures up to 20 kbar using piston cylinder pressure cell and up to 80 kbar using a cubic anvil pressure cell are reported. The temperature dependence of ? at ambient pressure shows a kink for the N?el temperature at 3.4 K and the magnetic contribution in ?(T) indicates two broad peaks at 10 K and 150 K, respectively. The N?el temperature gradually increases with increasing pressure up to 60 kbar, and suddenly disappears at 80 kbar. The two broad peaks approach each other with pressure and merge into one broad peak at around 40 K at a pressure of 80 kbar. This pressure variation is well described by Kondo effect influenced by crystalline electric field effect, and indicates enhancement of Kondo effect with pressure. Since these results are qualitatively interpreted by Doniach's phase diagram, we suggest that CeCuAl3 is a weak Kondo antiferromagnet and quantum critical point exists between 60 and 80 kbar.
