Whether or not it will occur depends on the actual vertical temperature gradient and how this gradient compares to the lapse rate.
Somewhere along the gradient (the surface if all outgoing energy directly radiated to space, or the AVERAGE altitude of outgoing to incoming energy balance for a real atmosphere), an absolute temperature has to be determined to give the rest of the slope actual temperatures.
The pressure gradient is nearly static and if an actual volume of gas is neither expanding nor contracting there is no associated change in temperature.
