washer pump - '93 silverado

With the replacement pump and the hose for the fluid, I only get spray on about
2/5 of the windshield as best. higher of course when I am driving because of
the wind.

Without actually changing the hose to a smaller diameter would splicing a
smaller cylinder into the interior of the hose itself up the pressure for the
spray? Or would it just be easier and more beneficial to just go out and buy a
smaller diameter hose and replace that?

You think you have low pressure so you want a *smaller* hose? That doesn't
make since.
I would start by cleaning the nozzle(s) and check/clean the filter on the
end of the hose in the tank.
