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

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
