higher temp means lower vapor pressure

Since water vapor is lighter than the air it replaces, it should cause pressure to be very slightly lower.
As temperature increases, pressure increases
As you go up in altitude, there is less air above you to put pressure on you, so lower pressure

I hope this helped, and have a great day! :)
