Should I pull the nail out of my tire?

I've got a slow leak in my rear tire. I'll get it fixed eventually, but for now I just keep an eye on it and add air every week. I finally located the cause--a small nail embedded in the tire.

My question: if I pull this nail out, will the air leak out slower, or faster? Should I leave it in or not?
