Does higher vapour pressure mean faster evaporation?

Solution

Yes, higher vapour pressure means faster evaporation.
If the vapour pressure is high then the intermolecular force between the molecules will be weak.
Lower intermolecular force reduces the boiling point and faster will be the evaporation rate.
