Yes, pumpkin does cook faster when the lid is on the saucepan. The reason for this is that the lid traps the steam inside the pan which speeds the cooking process.
A saucepan is a style of stove top cooking pot with high sides and usually comes with a lid. It can be made out of metals (like stainless steel/coppper) or glass (like Pyrex) the same as cooking pans.

Depending on the type of metal your pan is made of, it usually expands when hot, putting a cold lid on it sometimes it will not fit.
saucepan and its lid
A glass of water will generally evaporate slower with a lid on compared to without a lid. This is because the lid prevents the water vapor from escaping into the surrounding environment, leading to reduced evaporation.
The liquid in the pan gets hot, and creates water vapor. The lid, blanketed by the outside air, is cooler than the liquid in the pan, so the water condenses on the underside of the lid.
The lid will expand and loosen the grip on the jar.
It works best with a metal lid on glass. When the metal lid gets hot from the hot water it expands. The glass doesn't expand as much as metal so the tight seal that the lid had on the glass gets loosened as the lid gets slightly larger.
3 things that are translucent are windows, a glass lid, and a glass jar.
The base,main part of the pan and the bits that need to be insulators are the holder on the lid and the handle
the best material for the handle is wood, because it does not get hot and therefore will not burn your hand.
