The vapor pressure of the mixture is given b Raoult's law. The vapor pressure of each solvent doesn't change- only the fraction of the vapor pressure of the mixture that it accounts for. It would not be correct to say that the vapor pressure or methanol or ethanol changed- it would be correct to say that the amount that each solvent contributes to the total vapor pressure changes according to Raoult's Law.

Make sense?
 
I probably changed those statements like 5-6 times before it finally made sense lol.
