Saturation vapor pressure is directly related to temperature. As temperature increases, so does the maximum amount of water vapor that can exist in the air. Therefore, if the saturation vapor pressure increases while the amount of water vapor in the air remains constant, it must mean that the temperature has increased.

If the Saturation Vapor Pressure Increases While the Amount of Water
