    The vapor pressure stays th same.

    Explanation:

    Vapor pressure is that pressure exerted by steam in a closed container when the evaporation rate equals the condensation rate. This pressure depends only on temperature and internal attractive forces. Increasing the surface area increases the evaporation rate, but has a negligible effect on the condensation rate.
