Results of previous theoretical studies of a relativistic quantum scalar plasma (i.e., a system of spin 1/2 baryons interacting through a scalar field) at 0 K are extended to finite temperatures in the Hartree approximation by using a method based on the one-particle covariant Wigner function. A mass equation that completely governs the thermodynamic behavior of the system is obtained, and the equations of state of the system are derived from the system's total energy-momentum tensor as well as from the average baryonic four-current. Numerical results are presented in plots of effective mass vs. Fermi momentum and pressure vs. energy per particle for a specified value of one governing parameter and for several temperatures. Pressure is also plotted against chemical potential for another value of the governing parameter, and a phase diagram of the relativistic quantum scalar plasma is given. Five regions are identified in the phase diagram, including one where the system is in a collective bound state and the equation of state does not behave in a Van der Waals manner.
