Pressure remains the same, but temperature does affect pressure. When the temp goes down, the pressure does as well. Simply being mounted ont he car or not doesn't directly affect pressure. Excessive loading can induce a bit of pressure, but it typically is compensated for by expansion elsewhere on the tire.
