if solute potential is constant in a system or not given(in a question), then could we relate pressure potential with with water potential as
"more positive the pressure potential more will be the water potential of the system or more will be the free energy of water to diffuse to a system having low pressure potential(less positive or negative)"

Solution

Yes, water potential increases as the pressure potential increases or solute potential increases. If solute potential is constant and pressure potential increases, then also the water potential will increase.
