Answer:

Pressure.

Step-by-step explanation:

A coffee cup calorimeter is an open calorimeter where we measure enthalpy of any reaction.

Enthalpy of a reaction is the heat change measured at constant pressure.

So in coffee cup calorimeter by keeping it open system (not closed system) we maintain the pressure to be atmospheric pressure thus we keep the system at constant pressure.
