Is the heat content of steam the same for steam at different pressures?

Is the heat released by these two pressures of steam the same? If 3 tons of steam are used in each case to heat the same substance, will the temperature of that substance be the same (assuming all other conditions remain constant)? Please advise, experts. Thank you
The difference should not be significant; the amount of high pressure used is the same, and the temperature will be a bit higher.
They’re different; the latent heat of vaporization is not the same
