Which vessel has more pressure. Why?

Assertion: The pressure exerted by the vapour of a liquid at equilibrium at a given temperature is called its vapour pressure. Reason: If a nonvolatile solute is added to a solvent to give a solution, the vapour pressure of the solution is found to be greater than the vapour pressure of the pure solvent.
