A metallic bond since both are pure metals but are not ionic
Answer is: Increased pressure would increase the rate of forming water vapor.
According to Le Chatelier's Principle, the position of equilibrium moves to counteract the change, the position of equilibrium will move so that the concentration of products (water waper) of chemical reaction increase, if:
1) decrease temperature, because this is exothermic reaction (ΔH is negative).
2) increase concentration of reactants (oxygen and hydrogen).
3) increase pressure of the system, so reaction moves to direction where is less molecules.

Explanation:
An endothermic reaction is one in which energy is absorbed and the change in enthalpy for the reaction is positive.
If we look at the reaction 2HgO + 45kcal ----> 2Hg + O2; we will notice that
i) 45kcal of energy was taken in (absorbed) for the reaction to occur
ii) The value of the reaction enthalpy is positive
For these two reasons, the reaction is an endothermic reaction as written.
