Water in a 150 ml container volume with a diameter of 12 cm evaporates faster and therefore has a greater vapour pressure than a container with a volume 75 ml and a diameter of 5.5 cm, because the diameter of 150 ml container is more and more space is exposed, so it evaporates more quickly in lesser time.
The vapour pressure is due to escaping tendency of water molecule from surface of liquid. Vapour pressure is dependent on the number of molecules on the surface of liquid.
If number molecules on surface of molecules is greater, greater would be the vapour pressure.
Since, 150 mL container is with 12 cm diameter, its surface area is larger and it has more number of water molecules on the surface. So, it has greater vapour pressure than the 75 ml container and the water also evaporates faster due to large surface area and more exposure.
