I am a high school student and I am very confused in a topic about "vapor pressure of liquid"  .Why change in atmospheric pressure doesn't affect vapor pressure I can't think of any logical answer, I think intuitively that it should decrease on increasing the atmospheric pressure  .say I have open bowl of water at temperature T and 1atm pressure and V.P of it at temp T is P1  .Now I increase the atmospheric pressure over the bowl keeping the temperature same ,(we can do it by pushing more air by some external means towards liquid surface) because atmospheric pressure is pushing on it ,not letting vapours to escape out so more atmospheric pressure would mean less evaporation and hence less vapor pressure for same temperature then how does it not affect vapor pressure?

But on the other hand I also think that vapor pressure is defined when their is an equilibrium between water and it's vapours and equilibrium constants are only affected by Temperature so, if vapor pressure changes with change in external pressure than it would mean equilibrium constant would change but this doesn't happen?

Please prove me wrong(if I am) with some intuitive explanation at high school level.

Because a higher atmospheric pressure is pushing on the liquid, doesn't that mean less evaporation and hence less vapor pressure for same temperature?

But on the other hand, I also think that vapor pressure is defined when there is an equilibrium between the liquid and vapor phase of water and equilibrium constants are only affected by temperature. Therefore, if vapor pressure changes with a change in external pressure, than it would mean the equilibrium constant would have to change?
