Depend on the difference in temp. Say you fill it to 4500psi. it will be warm to the touch. When it cools down it will be around 4200-4300 psi. Now say your bottle is burning hot and it's at 4500psi. And you cool it down to icey cold. Might be a big difference like drop down to 3800-4000psi.

That's why tire mfg tell you to fill their tires cold. Air expanse as it heats and filling your tires when they are hot will leave them under inflated when cold.
