Solution

Yes.
Water starts boiling when its vaopur pressure becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure.
If the atmospheric pressure is increased the boiling point of water will also get increased.
Similarly if the water is heated under the reduced pressure conditions, its boiling point will get decreased.
