It shouldn't take much.

I can shift an AA battery with 20psi I guess.

If the projectile is jammed in the barrel or it doesnt fit well enough it won't fire.

I've dropped a loose wooden bit down a barrel before, fired it with 160psi and the air blast just went right round it and left it in the barrel.

If the projectile is jammed you'd know.
