If you used a centrifugal pump, then the water would stop flowing into the tank once the pressure reached 1000psia (in the tank). The pump would keep running, though. You could then shut the valve and the pressure would be maintained in the tank, unless the valve leaked.
If you used a positive displacement pump with 1000psia water on the suction side, then it would keep pumping water into the tank until, either the tank bursted or the pump burned up, which would happen very quickly.

The question is unclear..What is 'Saturated Water' ?, is the tank open to the atmosphere ?, is the inlet to the tank at the bottom ?
If you're saying simply 'Water', then the tank is extremely high.
1,000psia will support a column of water 2,309 feet high.
Please explain the question.

As u compress the water will condense and must be drained from the tank .
