You would not really damage the air bag if you left air in the bag, but just for good practice, I would deflate the bag. This would keep any pressure off of the bag and fittings while it is in storage.

For just a week I would leave the pressure in the bag and not think twice about it.

If you plan on storing the trailer, I also recommend either covering the pin box to protect it and the bag from the sun or applying something like Armor All to the air bag to protect the rubber.
