Oooooh, I remember phase diagrams from my Material Science class! Of course, it's so simple now. I was thinking on thermodynamic tangent... Thank you two so much, you're my heroes

Thanks guys, My story is this: one container, 1/3 filled with boiling water constantly boiling with 240*F on a pressure gauge. then the temperature of the stove is increased, indicating on the gauge that the temperature inside the pot is 255*F. Now, I know that 255*F boiling constantly would be 15psi, what is the psi for 240*F? Should be just scaled down with t1/p1=t2/p2 {*****} <-- lid | . . .. .| |. . .. . | <-- gas (evaporated water) |~~~~| <-- boiling water ```````` ^--- container on stove.

I was just wondering: if there is a hypothetical pot enclosed on all sides such that steam from boiling water creates pressure at a certain temperature, then the temperature is increased, will the pressure increase in proportion to this temperature?
