Hi there, In theory you may use any parameter in the Hamiltonian, but I'm pretty sure Gromacs' REMD applies parallel tempering for temperature only. I never looked at the actual code, but I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't even check for differences in pressure between replicas and that's why it reports that the thermodynamic states are the same.
In any case, wait for the experts to answer, they know a lot more than me for sure.
