Adsorption induced deformation of mesoporous powders and thin films can provide valuable information about their mechanical properties. Two types of mesoporous thin films were prepared by dip- and spin-coating on silicon substrates using a sol made of TEOS and triblock copolymer (P123) in acidic solution followed by calcination at 400°C. GISAXS measurements revealed ordered mesoporous films with 2D hexagonal structure with a macroscopic alignment of the pore axis within the plane of the substrate. The pore-lattice deformation due to adsorption of water was determined by in-situ GISAXS in a relative humidity range of RH=5% to RH=95%. Both films showed a reversible out-of-plane contraction due to the condensation of water in the pores. Pore lattice strain vs RH, called strain isotherms, were used to determine the *pore load modulus* of the films. The results showed clear differences between the two types of samples.
