I'm describing a little experiment that i conducted. Water or any liquid boils when its vapor pressure is greater than the pressure of the air above it.You can demonstrate this easily by using a disposable syringe. Suck water in the syringe so that it is about a quarter filled.(do it underwater so that there are no bubbles). Now close the open end of the syringe with your thumb and pull the piston backwards. Now there is a temporary vacuum created b/w the nozzle's end and the piston, where the pressure is zero. The water will now start to boil!
