What happens when the pressure or temperature of the triple point of a phase is being altered?

You can't alter it. A triple point is ONE set of pressure (p) end temperature (T), a physical property for each pure compound or element in all three phases together (s, l, g).

What is the temperature at which a substance may exist in all three phases?
The triple point of a substance is the temperature and pressure at which all three phases are in equilibrium. The exact temperature and pressure depend upon the identity of the substance.
What is the triple point of water?
The triple point of a phase diagram is the location where the solid, liquid, and gas phases meet; it is the temperature and pressure at which a given substance can assume any of the 3 usual phases of matter.
When a sample of gas is compressed from 6.0 L to 2.0 L at a constant temperature the pressure of the gas doubles?
Are you stating or asking ? If that's a statement, then it's an incorrect one. At constant temperature, the product of (pressure) x (volume) is constant. So, if the volume changed by a factor of 3, the pressure must also change by a factor of 3 ... the pressure must triple.

Temperature where some of a liquid begins to enter the gaseous state?
All substances can have a gaseous state, however, below the triple point (the temperature and pressure at which solid, liquid and gas can co-exist in equilibrium), the equilibrium is between the solid state and the gaseous state. Once you get above the triple point, you can get a gaseous state as long as you are above the melting point of the substance and below the critical point (the temperature at which the gas and liquid states have the same density - above the critical point you get a single "supercritical" phase). Between the triple point pressure and the critical point pressure, the temperature at which some liquids begin to get a gaseous state is know as the "boiling point". For water at sea level, that happens around 100 °C (212 °F) - although anyone who has been camping at high altitudes can attest to the fact that with the lower pressure at high altitudes, the boiling point of water can drop to something barely luke warm.
Which phase of a substance can exist when the pressure is less than the pressure of the triple point?
This depends on the temperature.
What is the point where temperature and pressure allow for 3 stats of matter?
"triple point"
Can ice and boiling water exist at same temperature?
Yes. In fact, there is a specific combination of pressure and temperature where the solid, liquid, and gaseous phases can co-exist. Do some reading on "triple point".Yes.

What is the triple point for silver?
The triple point refers the temperature and pressure at which the three phases of silver coexist in the thermodynamic equilibrium. The triple point of silver is 1233.95 degrees Celsius.
The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the exernal pressure is the?
It's called the triple point. For example when an ice-skater is skating, the thin blade creates a lot of pressure over a small area. So where the skate contacts the ice, you have solid (ice), liquid, and small amount of water vapor.
When pressure is less than triple point pressure then why sublimation occurs why?
Because liquid water can't exist at any pressure below 0.006 atmosphere, no matter what the temperature is.
What happens at triple point?
One interesting use is to define a temperature standard - the triple point of water (or any substance, for that matter) is at a very precise temperature. On the other hand, the melting point or the boiling point depends on pressure.One interesting use is to define a temperature standard - the triple point of water (or any substance, for that matter) is at a very precise temperature.

What is the fiducial point on the kelvin temperature scale?
The triple point of water (where you can boil water yet not melt ice; this can only happen with the correct temperature and pressure)
What happens at triple point of water?
Solid, liquid, and gas exist together. Apex
Is triple point unique?
No. Nearly every element and compound has a "triple-point", the combination of pressure and temperature which allows the solid form, the liquid form and the gaseous form to exist at once.
The triple point of a substance is the temperature and pressure conditions at which?
... the substance can exist in the solid, liquid, and gaseous phases all at the same time.
What happens to the pressure of a gas if the volume of a gas is tripled at a constant temperature?
The pressure is reduced to one third of the original pressure. The pressure will stay the same you are only changing the volume
