For a spatially homogeneous canonical scalar field, spatial derivatives vanish. Reading the time and spatial components of its energy-momentum tensor in the comoving frame gives
(1)
Thus the kinetic term contributes equally to energy density and pressure, whereas the scalar potential contributes negative pressure.
