It is a function of operating pressure and type of refrigerant.
R-134a in a condenser operating at 150 psi has a saturation temperature of 113F. So as long at the condenser cools the compressed refrigerant vapor to the saturation temp (or below) the vapor will condense into a liquid and flow into the receiver.

The condenser rejects heat to the environment. It must operate at a temperature higher than the environment. This is typically the dry bulb temperature of the air.
The compressor must be capable of raising the pressure of the refrigerant higher than its vapor pressure at the operating temperature of the condenser. Otherwise, there is no condensation of the refrigerant.
