If you mean "identical" air pressures, no.
Winds are caused by differences in air pressure, so you need to understand what you mean by "similar".
If you reckond 1050 hPa is "similar " to 1010 hPa (which will produce strong winds if the distance between them is only tens of miles), the answer is yes.
If you think 1050 hPa is similar to 1048 hPa, you'll only get a very light breeze.

How is the formation of global winds and small scale winds similar?
Winds are caused by differences in air pressure, winds move from high to low pressure. Has something to do with the coriolis effect.:]
What are global winds affected by?
Global winds are *e*ffected by differences in air pressure caused by uneven solar heating of the atmosphere.
Air pressure is caused by?
air pressure is caused by the constant motion of air molecules
What are local winds?
Local winds are winds that blow over short distances caused by unequal heating of the earths surface in a small area.
Why are some winds more stronger than other winds?
Because of the air pressure
Winds are caused by?
air pressure
Are winds caused by differences in air pressure?
Yes!

Is it true or false that winds are caused by differences in air pressure?
yes this is true. this is also why you can get stronger winds if the pressure gradient in the atmospshere is greater

Strong winds are primarily caused by?
The air pressure differences result mostly from the uneven heating of earth's surface.

What kind of currents cause wind?
Winds are caused by differences in air pressure not currents. Air under high pressure moves toward areas of low pressure.
Can Air pressure cause strong winds?
Wind is moving air that is caused by differences in air pressure inside our atmosphere. The air below high pressure moves toward areas of low pressure. The greater the variation in pressure, the quicker the air runs.
What causes the strong winds in a tornado?
Change in air pressure causes the strong winds. In fact, most winds that we experience on Earth are caused by change in air pressure. Usually significant changes in air pressure occur over a large area and therefore it's only a slow change in pressure over distance making light winds. In a tornado, you get a significant drop in air pressure over just a few feet of land. This causes the winds to get excessivly high.
Is the atmospheric pressure equal everywhere?
No - that's why we get winds. Winds are caused by air flowing from high-pressure areas to low-pressure zones. AVERAGE atmospheric pressure at ground level is 14 psi. (pounds per square inch)
Why are winds caused by differences in air pressure?
Because the more air pressure there is, it moves the winds in all directions because the air pressure goes in all different directions. That is why we are not flat right now. Think about it - "air pressure" means air is exerting pressure. If there are differences, air in one area is exerting more pressure than air someplace nearby. So the air with the greater air pressure pushes into the air that is not pressing as hard. Simplest way I can think to say it.
