To calculate the relative humidity, you can use the formula:

[ \text{Relative Humidity} = \left( \frac{\text{Actual Vapor Pressure}}{\text{Saturation Vapor Pressure}} \right) \times 100 ]

In this case, the actual vapor pressure is 12 mb, and the saturation vapor pressure is 24 mb. Thus, the relative humidity is:

[ \text{Relative Humidity} = \left( \frac{12 \text{ mb}}{24 \text{ mb}} \right) \times 100 = 50% ]

Therefore, the relative humidity of the air parcel is 50%.
