Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot(R)) and select Saute function. Add olive oil. Add onion and garlic to the hot oil and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add Italian dressing mix, oregano, basil, and celery seed. Saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add tomatoes, carrots, and zucchini to the pot and stir to coat. Add broth, macaroni, beans, and corn. Stir to be sure macaroni is covered by the broth. Press cancel and select Soup setting; set timer for 15 minutes. Allow 10 minutes for pressure to build.
