Given the comparatively small size of the habitat, it should be negligible.

Presuming both artificial gravitation and ground level air pressure to
be similar to conditions on Earth, you'd also get a somewhat similar
atmospheric density gradient. (It would even be less pronounced than on
Earth, as the artificial gravitation would fall off much faster with
increase in height above ground.)
