What is claimed is: 1. A composition for forming an underlayer film in an imprinting method, comprising: a high-molecular-weight compound having a polymerizable functional group; and a monomer having a plurality of crosslinking functional groups capable of being bonded to the polymerizable functional group, wherein a Hansen solubility parameter distance, which is a difference between a Hansen solubility parameter of the high-molecular-weight compound and a Hansen solubility parameter of the monomer, is 5.0 or less, and regarding two crosslinking functional groups among the plurality of crosslinking functional groups, the number of atoms, which constitute a shortest atom chain mutually linking crosslinking points in the respective crosslinking functional groups, is 7 or more. 2. The composition for forming an underlayer film according to claim 1 , wherein at least one kind of the high-molecular-weight compound or the monomer has a ring structure. 3. The composition for forming an underlayer film according to claim 2 , wherein both the high-molecular-weight compound and the monomer have a ring structure. 4. The composition for forming an underlayer film according to claim 2 , wherein the ring structure contains an aromatic ring. 5. The composition for forming an underlayer film according to claim 1 , wherein the Hansen solubility parameter distance is 3 or less. 6. The composition for forming an underlayer film according to claim 1 , wherein the number of atoms constituting the atom chain is 7 to 20. 7. The composition for forming an underlayer film according to claim 1 , wherein at least one kind of the polymerizable functional group or the plurality of crosslinking functional groups includes a group having an ethylenically unsaturated bond. 8. The composition for forming an underlayer film according to claim 1 , wherein at least one kind of the high-molecular-weight compound or the monomer contains a hydrogen bonding group. 9. The composition for forming an underlayer film according to claim 1 , further comprising a solvent, wherein a content of the solvent with respect to the composition for forming an underlayer film is 99% by mass or greater. 10. The composition for forming an underlayer film according to claim 1 , wherein a molecular weight of the monomer is 200 to 1,000. 11. The composition for forming an underlayer film according to claim 1 , wherein the high-molecular-weight compound includes at least one kind of an acrylic resin, a novolac resin, or a vinyl resin. 12. A kit for imprinting, comprising a combination of the composition for forming an underlayer film according to claim 1 and a composition for forming a pattern. 13. A pattern producing method comprising: forming an underlayer film on a substrate by using the composition for forming an underlayer film according to claim 1 ; applying a composition for forming a pattern onto the underlayer film; curing the composition for forming a pattern in a state of being in contact with a mold; and peeling off the mold from the composition for forming a pattern. 14. The pattern producing method according to claim 13 , wherein a contact angle of the substrate to pure water is 60 degrees or larger. 15. The pattern producing method according to claim 13 , wherein the forming of the underlayer film includes applying the composition for forming an underlayer film onto the substrate by a spin coating method. 16. The pattern producing method according to claim 13 , wherein the applying of the composition for forming a pattern onto the underlayer film is performed by an ink jet method. 17. A laminate comprising: a substrate; and a layer formed of the composition for forming an underlayer film according to claim 1 . 18. A method for manufacturing a semiconductor element, wherein a semiconductor element is manufactured using a pattern obtained by the producing method according to claim 13 .
