In an open system, the vapor pressure of a substance is determined by the temperature and composition of the system, not by the outside air pressure. The outside air pressure can influence the rate of evaporation, but it does not directly impact the vapor pressure within the system.
The pressure potential of the system in an open beaker is equal to atmospheric pressure, typically around 101.3 kPa.
When heated, temperature increases. You may have already guessed that. Most substances, but not all, increase in volume as the temperature increases at constant pressure. The pressure would remain the same if the fluid was in an open container.
Water is effectively an incompressible substance, so pressure does not affect its' volume. However, its boiling and freezing points are directly related to the external pressure. Water boils when its vapor pressure is equal to the external pressure (or the atmospheric pressure if it is contained in some uncovered pot). Greater external pressure requires higher temperature for water so as to have that value of vapor pressure for it to boil. This is how pressure affects water.
The smoke or mist that you see when you open a can of soda is actually water vapor condensing in the air due to the sudden drop in pressure inside the can. The carbonated drink is under pressure, and when you release the pressure by opening the can, the liquid quickly loses some of its dissolved carbon dioxide gas, leading to the visible mist.
In an open system, the vapor pressure of a substance can be influenced by factors such as temperature and the presence of other gases. The vapor pressure will tend to reach equilibrium with the surrounding air pressure, but may not always be equal due to various environmental conditions.

Yes, vapor pressure can occur in an open container. Vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by a vapor in equilibrium with its condensed phase in a closed system. In an open container, vapor can still form above a liquid or solid substance, but it will not reach equilibrium as it can escape into the surrounding environment.

The Liquid will turn into gas. The boiling point corresponds to the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure. If the liquid is open to the atmosphere (that is, not in a sealed vessel), it is not possible to sustain a pressure greater than the atmospheric pressure, because the vapor will simply expand until its pressure equals that of the atmosphere.
Wherever in evaporating stream a temperature drops lower, corresponding to lower vapor pressure than the partial pressure of the vapor in the stream, condensation occurs.
This temperature is called the boiling point, and indicates the temperature at which a liquid will assume a gaseous state, given the addition of the heat of vaporization.That is the boiling point.
open system
The set pressure is the pressure at which a relief valve starts to open. When the valve is open and relieving, the pressure will be higher or lower than the set pressure, depending on the system and the valve design. That is the blow-off pressure.
In a closed container, the water vapor cannot escape into the surrounding air, so the rate of evaporation decreases as the space becomes saturated. In an open container, the water vapor can escape into the surrounding air, allowing for continuous evaporation as long as there is a difference in vapor pressure between the liquid and the air.
Water boils at a lower temperature at higher altitudes because water boils when the vapor pressure of the heated water matches the pressure of the atmosphere pushing downward. Since there is a higher atmospheric pressure at sea level than in say a mountain, the temperature needed to boil water decreases.
Air con is an abbreviation for Air Conditioning, and a pressure switch is a device used to monitor the A.C. system for irregular pressures within the sealed system. There are low pressure and high pressure switches, usually normally closed, open on drop or open on rise respectively.
