Does Pluto have air pressure

A vacuum has air pressure, but I assume you mean atmosphere.

Pluto's atmosphere consists of a thin envelope of nitrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide, derived from the ices on its surface.[46] As Pluto moves away from the Sun, its atmosphere gradually freezes and falls to the ground. As it edges closer to the Sun, the temperature of Pluto's solid surface increases, causing the ices to sublimate into gas. This creates an anti-greenhouse effect; much like sweat cools the body as it evaporates from the surface of the skin, this sublimation has a cooling effect on the surface of Pluto. Scientists have recently discovered,[47] by use of the Submillimeter Array, that Pluto's temperature is 43 kelvins, 10 K colder than expected. the atmospheric pressure was determined to be 0.15 pascal, roughly 1/700,000 that of Earth.

Does Pluto have air on it?

Pluto has a very tenuous atmosphere composed of nitrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide. This atmosphere partially freezes periodically, becoming part of Pluto's surface.
