How does the partial pressure of water change as the temperature increases?

As temperature increases the molecular activity at the surface of the water would increase. This means that more molecules of water would be transitioning to gas. With more gas molecules there would be an increase in the partial pressure assuming the volume of the container is remaining constant.

An increase in temperature would increase the partial pressure.

I hope this was helpful.
