I never tried it, but always wondered what will happen if you press the gas pedal while the car on parking, P, gear. Will the parking pawl break?

Not sure I understand your question? When the trans is in park, none of the internal clutch packs in the trans are activated, so you can step on the gas all you want, it will be like in neutral. The only 'bad' thing could be the strange engine noise if you exceed the 'red' line for too long............

What I am wondering is that if the car is on P gear, automatic transmission of course, and pushing the gas pedal will that cause any pressure on the transmission

nothing will happen, or get affected. you would just rev it up the red line thats all. i did it one time i leaned on the gas while reaching for something.
