Vapour pressure of a liquid increases with :

1. decrease in temperature
2. increase in temperature
3. increase in surface area
4. increase in volume

Correct answer: increase in temperature

Solution

Vapour pressure rises when more molecules have enough kinetic energy to escape from the liquid surface. Increasing temperature increases molecular motion, so the equilibrium vapour pressure increases.
