On PC, simply press the Esc key to bring up a menu.
On consoles, just hit the Start button.

ESC or Pause.
SHIFT-TAB brings up Steam console which also pauses the game.

Start button for consoles, ESC button for PC, Shift + tab will let you access friends, chat, DLC downloads. Don't try doing a ALT+TAB to pause, while playing via steam. It usually crashes, you might lose your saved files.

I think some people here really didn't understand the question. If a person wants to pause Portal 2 it's because they want a moment to think while the timer is paused. As far as I can tell, it is not possible, at least not on ps3.
