The vapour pressure?

A. increases non-linearly with measuring temperature
B. increases linearly with increasing temperature
C. decreases linearly with increasing temperature
D. decreases non-linearly with measuring temperature

Correct Answer:

Option B = increases linearly with increasing temperature

Explanation

As the temperature of a liquid or solid increases its vapor pressure also increases.

Conversely, vapor pressure decreases as the temperature decreases.

i.e. vapor pressure is directly proportional to temperature
