This is a process control question?

What will happen to the pressure in a tank when the level is cyclingThis is a process control question?
It will vary? Do you mean the pressure at the bottom of the tank? It will vary in proportion the the level. The pressure at the top of the tank will depend on if it is vented or not, if vented it might vary a very small amount due to friction in the vent, but will be essentially constant. If the tank is not vented, the pressure will increase with increasing level. Note that if the tank is not vented the pressure at the bottom will be the sum of the weight if the liquid (per unit area) plus the pressure of the gas above the liquid.This is a process control question?
If the process is a closed one, then the pressure in the tank will not vary
