That would depend on the tech level. Do you have flexible fabrics strong
enough to stand up to a full atmosphere (or more) of pressure, and how
light are they?

One could probably model this with DR calculations, but as a rough
guide, consider whatever normal vacc suits you have in this setting - if
those could be crumpled up and fit into an emergency kit, you can
probably use the same tech for a pressure chamber.

The airlock would be more of a challenge, since you'd have to fasten it
to whatever you were trying to enter or leave...
