Answer:

Vapor pressure does not changes , Boiling point of liquid increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

The external pressure creates the water molecules to move rapidly. The boiling point of liquid will increase as a result of external pressure induced on the surface of the liquid. The temperature must be kept constant to bring the liquid to boil.
