how do i fix the gears on my raceing bicycle?

i bought a new specialized aliez sport with sora gear set it is jumping on the back sprocket i know there is adjustment with the little screws but which one is it .it only does this when under pressure

Don’t adjust the screws they are hardly ever need adjustment one they are set. You want to try the barrel adjuster where the cable enters the derailleur. If the bike wants to shift to the next higher gear or if is slow to shift to a lower gear turn the barrel adjuster out If it tries to go into a lower gear or shifts slow going to a higher gear turn the adjuster in. Make small 1/2 or 1/4 turn adjustments until it feels right.
