Which risk increases when a cryogenic propellant tank undergoes rapid warming?

💡 Explanation

A vapor explosion risk increases because rapid warming causes increased liquid to gas phase transition. Rapid vaporization leads to extreme pressure increase; therefore explosion rather than gradual overpressure which venting systems could manage is expected due to rapid transition.
