Solution
The correct option is B The boiling point of water is increased The equilibrium reaction is H2O(l)⇌H2O(g), when pressure is applied, the equilibrium will shift to left as the value of Δn is positive. Hence, for boiling to occur more temperature is required. So, it will increase the boiling point.
