Does Pipe Angle Affect Hydrostatic Pressure?

In the photo there are two identical containers with pipes extending from the top of the same height but at different angles, will the pressure created by the column of water differ depending on the angle of the pipe?
Two blue rectangular containers labelled P1 and P2, each with a pipe rising to a common horizontal line at top; the left pipe is slanted and the right pipe is vertical, with a vertical dimension labelled 5n between them.
 
What are your thoughts on this question? What is the equation that gives the hydrostatic pressure at a depth below the surface of the liquid?
