If temperature increases, vapor pressure _______________ (increases/decreases)? Why?

If temp increases, Kinetic energy of molecules increase. Molecules in high-energy tail of the distribution that have kinetic energies greater than the attractive force between molecules in the condensed (liquid or solid) phase also increases. I have got both answers, some say vapor pressure increases & some say it decreases.
An increase in vapor pressure makes sense than a decrease if temperature rises. But please explain which one is true and how ?
