Hello so I have a pink princess I repot it almost 3 weeks ago and today I realize it has fungus gnats would it be best to repot it again?

A repot definitely isn't necessary for fungus gnats. I would suggest hosing off all of the leafs on your PPP, and then allowing the soil to completely dry out. Spray some neem oil on your leaves and the top of your soil once a week until pests are gone. After that, neem oil should be sprayed once every two weeks as a preventative measure on the top of soil and leaves. Also, try bottom watering instead of watering from the top. This allows the top of the soil to stay dry and deflects fungus gnats entirely

Thank you so much

watering the soil with a hydrogen peroxide solution worked for me— bonus, it also aerates the soil

Put some cinnamon around it
