Will the iPhone screen that has been protected by tempered glass if exposed to pressure still have a bad impact on the screen?

A (very) thin sheet of tempered glass on top of an iPhone screen offers almost no protection against pressure or abrupt impact. It may protect against abrasion or severe scratching, but it has nowhere near the physical stiffness or resistance to protect against impact or great pressure.

An appropriate case can protect against drops and such though.
