Until you define "Pull Request"—I'm assuming this is what PR stands for—or pick a particular hosting provider such as GitHub or Bitbucket, the question can't quite be answered. The reason is that pull requests aren't a Git thing, they're a hosting-provider thing. It's up to the hosting-provider to implement them, and everyone who does, has some subtle difference in their implementation, vs the next guy's.
Once you do define PR precisely, it's also helpful to pick your definition of the word branch, because in Git, when people say branch, they may mean different things. (See What exactly do we mean by "branch"?)
That said, both GitHub and Bitbucket handle pull requests in very similar ways. If you're using some other provider, chances are good that they follow this trend. On both GitHub and Bitbucket, when you make a Pull Request, what you have done is to create something that is very much like a branch. (Whether it is a branch, or not, depends on your personal definition of branch.) You can keep adding more commits to this thing-that-is-like-a-branch and the pull request automatically updates, so that people who are on the web site, viewing the pull request, can see the new commits.
The method by which you add new commits to your pull request can also vary from one hosting provider to another. For GitHub, you simply git push
to whichever branch you used, on whichever repository you used, to initiate the pull request. GitHub then update the pull request itself, automatically. I have much less experience with Bitbucket and am not sure if their PRs behave the same way, but that's what I would expect.
