If we know the flowrate of a pump, is it possible to find out the pressure of the pump?

Yes...if you have a pump curve.

The problem is I don't have one

In that case you cannot find the pressure knowing only the flow rate of the pump.

Contact the manufacturer of the pump, they will give you one.
