Solution

Dear student,
Yes, the boiling point of the water can be increased or decreased by the following methods:
1)By increasing the atmospheric pressure, the boiling point of water increases.

2)By decreasing the atmospheric pressure, the boiling point of water decreases.

3)If we add a solute or impurity the boiling point of water also changes.
