Yes, there will be pressure on a hot radiator hose.

It's meant to have pressure when fully warmed up. Flex your bicep and touch it with your other hand; that's roughly how firm the hose should be.

Also, most of the time with aftermarket hoses like that, you're meant to trim the ends to match the original length of the OEM hose. I can see you have developed a kink on your upper hose right after the thermostat housing. That's not good. Drain the coolant just a little from the petcock at the bottom of the radiator until the top hose is empty, take it off and try shortening both ends of the hose so it fits nicely, is not stretched and has no kinks. Measure twice, cut once, of course.
