If a liquid is sealed in a container, kept at a constant

If a liquid is sealed in a container, kept at a constant temperature, how does vapor pressure change over time? The rate of liquid into the gas state will eventually equal the rate of gas returning to the liquid state. It is a closed container, so the molecules will remain liquid. There is no temperature change, so there will be no change to the system. The number of molecules of liquid and gas wil eventually equal one another.
