It all depends how much pressure you have inside the aircraft. The negative px relief valve is about 6x4 inch on something like a 777 - so that is 24 square inches which at around 8psi is almost 200lb sitting on that door. If it is much lower then the engines are probably going to be off and the pressure will leak away fairly rapidly anyway.
