Eli5 what would happen if you had water in a completely sealed container and brought it past boiling temp

Question

Would it just turn into a pressurized container full of steam? Would the water stay water but just like, really hot?

Answer 1

boiling point is relative to pressure. e.g. at sea level water boils at 212 degrees (f), at 5,000 ft of elevation (less pressure) it boils at 203 degrees. 1000 ft below sea level it takes 214 degrees.

tl/dr it will get hotter but it wont steam/ boil until it’s returned to the room pressure at which point it will boil/ steam.
