Do I have to marinate the Tilapia?
You don't HAVE to, it's just that the fish tastes much better that way.
Marinate overnight or for at least 1 hour in the fridge.

I am wondering if 1/4 cup lemon juice is enough to cook in the instant pot. My experience has been unless I have 1 cup of liquid the instant pot doesn’t reach pressure.
Some models require more liquid to reach pressure than others. Usually 1/4 cup or 1/2 cup will be enough. Try adding 1/4 cup water and see if that works, adding more water or fish stock if needed.
