I would do

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun my/skip-if-not-p1 ()
 (not (org-entry-get (point) "P1")))
...

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
  '(
    ("p" "Todo entries with property p1"
     (
      (todo nil)
      )
     (
      (org-agenda-skip-function 'my/skip-if-not-p1)
      )
     )
    )
)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I have not tested it so beware the typo and reasoning errors but the
idea is there.

I think you could use org-element.el instead of the probably obsolete
`org-entry-get' but I don't know it well enough to propose a solution...

I hope it helps.

Best regards
