In general, steam is water so you're adding water to the air and raising the humidity. The small caveat is that steam is also going to heat the air, so it can hold more moisture. By adding moisture you increase the numerator of the relative humidity term, and by raising the heat you increase the denominator. In the end, the moisture would win and the relative humidity would increase.
