You didn't mention how the tube will be retained at either end. The problem is liable to be at these fittings , rather than with the tube itself.
Perspex isn't normally used to retain pressure. I don't know what your project is, but if you are decided on PERSPEX i'd take expert advice. I'm sure there are many other plastics which would be more suitable- such as those found in low presure "sight glasses" in the chemical industry.
I reckon you should contact a manufacturer of "sight glasses" otherwise known as "gauge glasses". Many of their low pressure ones are made of clear plastic tubing- but not "perspex".

14.7 PSI, better known as atmospheric pressure.
Unless you put some ends on a tube thats the maximum pressure you will ever get in it
