This map shows us the isobars associated with low pressure. Isobars are lines of equal pressure, and the tighter the gradient between them, the windier it is. Strong low pressure systems tend to have a tighter pressure gradient between the isobars. This can be seen on this map as the 990 mb low has much tighter lines than the 1005 mb low.
