Your question is not clear.
However, if you are talking about pages with slug like page1, page2, page3, then I would suggest you to keep slug focusing on your keywords. Not just because it is important for keyword relevancy in the slug but it also helps user understand about the page in SERP.
And yes if you require any page to rank on google you have to let it index. Simple.

What plugin are you using to do this? Because on Yoast seems there are no option to noindex this kind of pages

You can use the following filter for Yoast
PHP:
add_filter( 'wpseo_robots', 'my_robots_func' );
function my_robots_func( $robotsstr ) {
if ( is_page() && is_paged() ) {
return 'noindex,follow';
}
return $robotsstr;
}

The issue of noindexing paginated pages in WordPress using the Yoast SEO plugin, Yoast SEO has removed the option to noindex subpages of archives. This change was made because Google has improved its handling of paginated series, and applying a noindex tag to these pages can lead to issues with internal linking and content discovery.
Therefore, it's generally recommended to allow paginated pages to be indexed to ensure proper site navigation and content visibility. If you still wish to noindex paginated pages, you would need to implement custom code, as per Yoast, this approach is not advised due to potential negative impacts on SEO.
