Solution

The boiling point of a substance is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the pressure surrounding the liquid and the liquid changes into a vapor. A liquid at high pressure has a higher boiling point than when that liquid is at atmospheric pressure.

The boiling point of liquid increases with increase in pressure and decreases with a decrease in pressure.
