Cold fronts tend to travel a little faster. When they catch up to the warm front, an occluded front is formed.
What can be expected to occur to the atmospheric pressure prior to the passage of a cold front and after the cold front passes?
The pressure is lowest as the front passes. In fact, that is how you can identify a cold front on a map with no other information.
