You can determine which soup has the greater vapor pressure at the same temperature using Raoult's law.

Under Raoult's law the relationship of the boiling point and the vapor pressure is this:
"The one with the higher vapour pressure is the one with the lower boiling point."Simply determine which batch of soup has the lower boiling point and you can deduce that it has the greater vapor pressure.
