Answer

The equilibrium vapor pressure is the vapor pressure measured when a dynamic equilibrium exists between condensation and evaporation. A liquid in a closed vessel eventually establishes a dynamic equilibrium between evaporation and condensation. The vapor pressure over the liquid under these conditions is the equilibrium vapor pressure. As the temperature increases, vapor pressure also increases.
