Remove all of the meatballs and deglaze the pot with the broth. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Top with the remaining marinara sauce and close the lid. Make sure the lid is set to sealing. Set the Instant Pot to manual high pressure and set the timer for 7 minutes. When the timer goes off, let the pressure naturally release for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, quick-release the pressure. Be careful not to stand over the Instant Pot while the pressure is being released as the steam is very hot.
