Question
If the molecules were not allowed to collide among themselves, would you expect more evaporation or less evaporation?

Solution
If the molecules are not allowed to collide with each other, they will have long mean free paths and hence, evaporation will be faster. In vacuum, the external pressure will be very low. So, the liquid will boil and evaporate at very low temperature.
