Solution

The correct option is B

Boiling point increases.


The boiling point of a liquid increases with the increase in pressure and decreases with the decrease in pressure.
When we increase pressure, molecules come closer to each other. Hence, molecules will require more energy to overcome this resistance thus this increases the boiling point of a liquid.
