I would think the more likely answer is that a difference of 9 K (a 3% change)
is insignificant. Why do you think the pressure is the reason for the (lack of)
difference? Can you prove that the pressure is or is not significantly
different in this case? Values of pressure fluctuate on the order of hundreds
of bar for most systems, so I doubt there is any way to prove that pressure has
any effect, since in most cases, it is a relatively insensitive quantity.
