it is because water vapour being a gas exerts much more pressure than water which is a liquid at the same temperature.

Answer:
Water vapor is in gaseous state while water is in liquid state. Water gains "latent heat of vaporization" and converts into water vapor. Since the energy gained gets used up for conversion from one state to another, its temperature does not rise. This energy gets converted into the "kinetic energy of particles" in the vapor state. Therefore, even though the temperature of water in both the states is same the vapour state has more energy in the form of kinetic energy.
