Temperature and different solutes. If those liquids are in a solution with another solute, it will decrease the vapor pressure of the solvent, due to Pressure of solvent = (mole fraction of solvent)(pressure of solvent)

the intermolecular forces of the molecules as well. The stronger the IMF the slower the evaporation.
