Since you are flat towing the weight on the axle should be minimal. It will only be the weight of the tow bar on the trailer hitch (tongue weight). Now if you use a rock shield or something similar mounted on the tow bar that may place some additional weight on the tongue but it shouldn't be much and thereby not have any impact on the tire air pressure.
