Solution

Boiling point of a liquid increases with increase in pressure.

Since a liquid vaporises when molecules moves faster and farther apart but while increasing pressure, you are applying an external force o hold molecules closer to each other. Hence, molecules will require more energy to overcome this resistance thus this increases boiling point of liquid..!!
