Yes it does.It's lower with more duration and overlap, that's why you can't run a big cam in a low mechanical compression ratio engine. Little change when advancing or retading a cam a degree or two.

Advanced = more cylinder pressure, retarded = less cylinder pressure, but as Gary mentions , not by much. Changing the cam timing in my 427 from 0 to +6 took DCR from 8.5 to 8.6
