Pressure question

I was asked this question and i dont know the answer so if anyone could help me it would be great,

say you have a cuboid length being 3cm height and breadth being 2 cm and inside the cuboid the atmosphere is 3x's its norm, is there a greater amount of force acting on the 4cm(squared) side then the 6cm(squared) side

i know that Pressure = Force/Area therefore Force = Pressure X Area

Any help
