Let $A,B$ be commutative rings with identity and $f:Ato B$ an injective homomorphism of rings. For any prime ideal $mathfrak q$ of $B$, denote $f^{-1}(mathfrak q)$ by $mathfrak p$, how to show the canonical homomorphism $A_{mathfrak p}to B_{mathfrak q}$ is injective?

This seems like the kind of thing that might follow from the universal property. Did you try using that?

@AlfredYerger Yes, I factor it as $A_{mathfrak p}to B_{mathfrak p}to B_{mathfrak q}$, the first is injective, but I wonder if the second is injective.

This is false. For instance, let $k$ be a field, let $A=k[x]$ and $B=k[x,y]/(xy)$, and let $f:Ato B$ be the obvious inclusion. Then the ideal $mathfrak{q}=xBsubset B$ is prime, and the induced map $A_{f^{-1}(mathfrak{q})}to B_mathfrak{q}$ is not injective: $x$ is nonzero in $A_{f^{-1}(mathfrak{q})}$ but is $0$ in $B_mathfrak{q}$ since $xy=0$ and $ynotinmathfrak{q}$.
Nice! I was typing this exact example, but you beat me to it.
