Every phone screen is resistant to cracking, and none are proof against it. The degree of resistance varies. Pixel 4a uses Corning's Gorilla Glass 3. While not the absolute best as one might expect on $1,000+ flagship phones, it is still very, very good - but, like any, not 100% assurance you cannot scratch or crack your screen. Whether or not you want a screen protector is up to you - adding one will basically ensure that any scratches that do occur are on the screen protector itself rather than the phone's screen, and will lessen the likelihood of the screen itself fracturing on impacts. If you tend to sell your 'outgoing' phone when you upgrade to a new one, keeping a screen protector on increases the likelihood you'll be able to sell it as being in 'mint' condition, and the value of that difference generally is more than the price of a screen protector.
