Which outcome occurs when increased pressure is applied isothermally during the transition within boiling liquid?

💡 Explanation

Increased pressure causes vapor to collapse as the water boils; Le Chatelier's principle favors the liquid phase. This is because increased pressure favors the denser phase; therefore vapor collapses and liquid volume decreases rather than temperature increases or phase equilibria shift.
