If the air is "saturated", that means:

• the air is full of water
• the air is partially full of water
• it's amount of water vapor in the atmosphere right now
• how much liquid water it potentially can hold

As the air temperature increases, the air's capacity for water vapor: 

• increases
• decreases
• remains the same
• is unrelated to air temperature and can either increase or decrease

What is the name of the instrument used to measure air pressure?

• Anemometer
• Thermometer
• Barometer
• Hygrometer
