By applying Vaseline on leaves stomata gets covered and transpiration stops. This prevents loss of water vapour and the moisture of the leaf retain for sometimes. But as the layer of vaselin stops all type of gaseous exchange, leaf will end up dying.

Respiration will stop.
Transpiration will stop.
Photosynthesis will stop.

Hey mate I will GIVE MY BEST TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION GIVEN ABOVE.
Usually a healthy potted plant containing leaves with it only for a short time can remain healthy when coated with Vaseline. Usually one has to give water open space and sunlight which are required for photosynthesis but by applying Vasceline the entire process of photosynthesis Transpiration respiration can stop at any moment if it is a SENSITIVE PLANT!!!!!. But to an extent, Protecting from harmful and contaminated objects and it's effects it is advisable to coat with Vasceline only for short period of time. PLEASE GIVE ME SOME POINTS FOR THIS ANSWER! !
