Answer: No

Explanation:

We know the pressure p = force/area

so dimension of p = MLT⁻² / L² = M L⁻¹ T⁻²

now we will find the dimension of \sqrt{\rho g h}

Dimension of ρ = M L⁻³

Dimension of  g = L T⁻²

Dimension of h = L

So the dimension of ρgh = M L⁻³  L T⁻²  L = M L⁻¹ T⁻²

So the dimension of \sqrt{\rho g h} = \sqrt{M L^{-1}  T^{-2}}

Hence, p = \sqrt{\rho g h} is not dimensionally correct.

Actual expression is p = \rho g h , which is dimensionally correct​.
