In an open system, the vapor pressure is equal to the partial pressure of the vapor above the liquid at a given temperature. Unlike in a closed system, where vapor pressure can reach a dynamic equilibrium with the liquid phase, in an open system, vapor can escape, preventing the establishment of equilibrium. Therefore, the vapor pressure is not fixed and can vary depending on conditions such as temperature and the amount of vapor present.
