how much of the energy will converted to increase in pressure and how much will be converted into increase in temperature?

Since liquids are relatively incompressible, meaning their volume is relatively constant with varying pressure, pressure and temperature would not be independent. That said, it takes significant pressure to increase the temperature of, say, liquid water.

For example, adiabatically compressing saturated liquid water (water at the boiling point) from 10 KPa to liquid at 10 MPa increases(a 1000 fold increase) raises the temperature by only about 5 C (based on the properties of compressed liquid water).

Hope this helps.
