By using a formula relating topological entropy and cohomological pressure, we obtain several rigidity results about contact Anosov flows. For example, we prove the following result: Let $\varphi$ be a $C^\infty$ contact Anosov flow. If its Anosov splitting is $C^2$ and it is $C^0$ orbit equivalent to the geodesic flow of a closed negatively curved Riemannian manifold, then the cohomological pressure and the metric entropy of $\varphi$ coincide. This result generalizes a result of U. Hamenstädt for geodesic flows.

Keywords: Anosov flow, cohomological pressure., entropy.
