The pressurization on jet aircraft is controlled by an outflow valve on the outside skin of the fuselage.  The engines supply a constant flow of bleed air mostly dependent on engine power setting. The out flow valve is about one square foot in size and usually is only about 1/3 closed. One bullet hole wouldn't affect the system in any observable (out flow valve position gauge ) way. 

Hope that helps.
