This is because the mole fraction of water in salt solution is lower than the mole fraction of water in pure water and salt is not volatile - has no appreciable vapour presure. This is an instance of Raoult's Law in action.

In very simple terms the number of water molecules at the surface of the water is less when there is salt present thus lowering its vapour presure.

Will water without salt evaporate faster than water without salt?

Yes, because when salt is put into water, they can also act like magnets. Attaching to opposite particles. The salt molecules also push down the water molecules so the water molecules have to get enough power to evaporate. Which makes plain water evaporate faster.

Does a glass of water evaporate faster with a lid or without?

A glass of water will generally evaporate slower with a lid on compared to without a lid. This is because the lid prevents the water vapor from escaping into the surrounding environment, leading to reduced evaporation.
