Say there is a vessel with constant volume. We know the EOS, moles and Cp of the vapor in it. How can we design an experiment to measure the (dS/dP) at constant V?

I think the idea is to transform (dS/dP)v into something that consists of Cp, V,P,T only. Then we can measure the small difference in T or P to substitute into equation and get (dS/dP)v.

But how? Anyone has an opinion?

Welcome to PF;
Directly: dS/dP is the slope of the S vs P graph isn't it?

Well, you could find a way to vary the pressure and measure the entropy - plot S vs P and take the slope.
How you do that, and cope with the complications, determines the experiment.
 
Start with the equation for dH expressed in terms of dT and dP, and set this equal to TdS + VdP. Then eliminate VdP from both sides, and you will see what to do next.
