Occasionally. If you have food splattered as far as the lid. If only steam got up there, you are okay.
Remembering the old fashioned pressure cookers, I made a personal habit of always removing the "sealed / vent" knob atop the lid, and looking through the lid's hole to make sure I can see light through it. Hold the lid up to a ceiling light or a window. If you can see light, it isn't plugged up with food. I don't remove the metal cap, for this test. But I do it EVERY TIME I put the lid on.
You also want to occasionally clean the pin that pops up. Over a counter (so you don't lose the 2 tiny pieces) remove a teeny silicone ring that holds the pin in place (ring is on underside of the lid). The pin will then drop out of the top of the lid. Remember how that worked, for putting it back in. (My smart SO just had trouble putting the pin back in and panicked!)
There are youtube videos for both of the above.
