Hi,
Normally when you build a system with any kind of solvent the starting
density isn't quite right, so during your initial equilibration with
constant pressure the box size will adjust so as to relax the density
of the system. In fact, until your density equilibrates you should
continue to run with constant pressure; otherwise you run the risk of
developing vacuum bubbles in your solvent (if your density is too
low). Once your density has equilibrated you can switch to constant
volume to keep the box size fixed.
