How much priming sugar to use when artifically carbonating?

Thanks

Is the pressure of the Co2 inside it enough to push the beer out? I have been thinking about this and figured that you would lose pressue over time ...

The fermentation was finished and the containers were plastic PET bottles which can take a lot more pressure than glass.
