Intrapulmonary pressure will equalize to atmospheric pressure during a breathing cycle, but intrapleural pressure should always be less than atmospheric pressure.

Intrapulmonary pressure is the pressure inside the lung alveoli, while intrapleural pressure is the pressure in the pleural cavity. During normal breathing, intrapleural pressure is lower than intrapulmonary pressure, creating a pressure gradient that helps keep the lungs inflated.
