Tire question?

Intuitively, it would seem that wider, lower pressure tires would present more resistance to peddling. Whereas, the opposite would - intuitively -
also seem to be true - that narrower, high pressure tires should provide less resistance to peddling. For now let's just disregard the tire groove
configuration.
Does this sound correct? I only ask because I am currently shopping for a hybrid type bike. Some of them have wider, lower pressure tires.
And I'm only interested in pavement, concrete trail riding.

Thanks for any comments,
