f[x_, n_:2, betaN_:121.643] := Sech[betaN*x^n]^2;

Plot[f[x], {x, -0.5, 0.5}, 
    PlotRange -> All, 
    PlotStyle -> RGBColor[0, 0, 1]];

Plot[NIntegrate[f[t], {t, -0.5, x}], 
    {x, -0.5, 0.5}, 
    PlotStyle -> RGBColor[1, 0, 0]];

To combine these plots into one, you would probably want to use separate 
scales for the curves.  See:
