A drop in temperature would decrease the propane pressure. The drop is insignificant. During my testing, the temperature dropped from about 60 F to about 50F.

So the drop in temperature and the drop in pressure were insufficient at only a bit over 1%.
Not to get tooooo far into the weeds, but here’s a temp vs pressure chart:
