Answer

(a) The vapor pressure depends on the temperature. So when the temperature is lowered, the vapor pressure of the water also decreases. (b) When the volume of the container is doubled, the vapor pressure remains the same as it depends only on temperature and strength of intermolecular forces. (c) When more water is added, vapor pressure remains the same as it depends only on temperature and strength of intermolecular forces.
