If you have zits will the pressure from flying in an airplane pop them?

No: What can occur in the middle ear doesn't occur with a pimple.

Unlikely: The pressure differential will not pop an ordinary acne pustule. If one is about ready to pop, it might do so but this probably would happen on the ground anyway.
