Looking at the graph, the Y axis is volume occupied, so the higher the representation of the substance, the more volume it occupies. Now, water vapor is water in a gaseous state and gases have more space spread apart between them and are in smaller particles, because of this, the gas is able to occupy any amount of space that the container allows. In other words, the bigger the container, the more volume the gas is occupying.
