The vapour pressure?
increases non-linearly with measuring temperature
increases linearly with increasing temperature
decreases linearly with increasing temperature
decreases non-linearly ith measuring temperature

Explanation

The vapor pressure of any substance increases non-linearly with temperature, often described by the Clausius–Clapeyron relation.

As the temperature of a liquid or solid increases its vapor pressure also increases.

Conversely, vapor pressure decreases as the temperature decreases. 

i.e. vapor pressure is directly proportional to temperature
