We report a neutron scattering study of the magnetic excitation spectrum in each of the three temperature and pressure driven phases of URu2Si2. We find qualitatively similar excitations throughout the (H0L) scattering plane in the hidden-order and large-moment phases, with no changes in the (h) over bar omega widths of the excitations at the Sigma = (1.407,0,0) and Z = (1,0,0) points, within our experimental resolution. There is, however, an increase in the gap at the Sigma point from 4.2(2) meV to 5.5(3) meV, consistent with other indicators of enhanced antiferromagnetism under pressure.
