What happened when you tried it? A simple test should answer the
question.
CREATE TABLE foo (
id serial PRIMARY KEY,
price integer NOT NULL CHECK (price = 1 OR price = 2 OR price = 3)
);
INSERT INTO foo (price) VALUES (1);
INSERT 0 1
INSERT INTO foo (price) VALUES (2);
INSERT 0 1
INSERT INTO foo (price) VALUES (3);
INSERT 0 1
INSERT INTO foo (price) VALUES (0);
ERROR: new row for relation "foo" violates check constraint "foo_price_check"
INSERT INTO foo (price) VALUES (4);
ERROR: new row for relation "foo" violates check constraint "foo_price_check"
