If it's a centrifugal pump it won't mind - centrifugal pumps are
themselves happy up to back pressures such that there is no flow
through them.

Some other pumps may be upset by increasing back-pressure above what
they are intended for, but the pressure you'll be adding i sprobably
low enough it won't be a big problem.
