Hello Student
Your question is not clear. It seems as you are asking about the effect of concentration of solute on vapour pressure of solvent.
Vapour pressure of solvent decreases with increase in concentration of the solute. This is because a fraction of the surface is occupied by the solute molecules which decreases the number of solvent molecules being vaporized.
