Vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by a liquid's vapor. As the temperature rises, the kinetic energy of molecules are moving more and more rapidly. Thus, the pressure of the vapor phase increases.

pressure in chemistry means rate of reaction (gas pressure) when a plunger is used to compress the state of gas particles, making the particles closer together therefore increasing the chance of collision and the rate of reaction. Hope this helped :)

The meaning is the same in all sciences; it is a force applied to a surface in relation to a specified area.
