It depends on the concentration of the impurity.
Pure liquids have a constant boiling point. boiling points of pure liquids are like fingerprints for those pure liquids.
The colligative property for pure liquids is boiling point elevation. The boiling point of a pure liquid will rise, but the temperature rise will depend on the contaminant concentration.
If I have an unknown pure liquid I would establish its boiling point and compare it to literature in say the CRC for example. This is only one of many test I would make to identify my unknown pure liquid.

only at a constant pressure. (ie the bp on a liquid at sea level is different than the bp of a liquid in the mountains)

Hi. No. The boiling point is affected by pressure.
