Answer:
HgI2 forms a complex with KI and therefore number of particles in the solution decreases.HgI2 + 2KI → K2[HgI4] Vapour pressure is a colligative property, decrease in number of solute particles will increase the vapour pressure. Therefore it will show increase in vapour pressure not decrease.
