My guess is that, at speed, the pressure in the engine compartment from the air coming through the radiator will overcome the pressure at the rear of the hood. From what I understand, it's not that much higher than ambient, just higher than other places on the hood.
If air is going into the engine compartment, it will probably not be a lot as it will have to overcome the pressure in the engine compartment.
I'm curious to see what happens. Not that I will have any use for the info, but I find it interesting.
