Unless you purge out all of the existing refrigerant and refill you cannot go by pressures.
If you put in a "shot" of Frosty then you would have a mixture so pressures don't have any interpretable meaning.
However if you are indeed just low on refrigerant ant giving it a shot to see if you now have cooling might work. The question becomes how many shots do you need ?
