Answer
increasing the pressure on liquid
Reason — At boiling point vapour pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure, thus boiling point depends upon surrounding atmospheric pressure. With increase in atmospheric pressure, boiling point increases.

The rate of evaporation of a liquid increases when:
- temperature of liquid falls
- liquid is poured in a vessel of less surface area
- air is blown above the surface of liquid
- humidity increases
During boiling or vaporization:
- all molecules take part
- temperature rises
- no heat is absorbed
- the average kinetic energy of molecules increases
Two rods A and B of the same metal, but of length 1 m and 2 m respectively, are heated from 0°C to 100°C. Then:
- both the rods A and B elongate the same
- the rod A elongates more than the rod B
- the rod B elongates more than the rod A
- the rod A elongates, but the rod B contracts
Two rods A and B of the same metal, same length, but one solid and other hollow, are heated to the same rise in temperature. Then:
- the solid rod A expands more than the hollow rod B
- the hollow rod B expands more than the solid rod A
- the hollow rod B contracts, but the solid rod A expands
- both the rods A and B expand the same
