Or any liquid, not just water.

By definition, the boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure = surrounding pressure i.e. atmospheric pressure. The vapor pressure is dependant on the temperature.
If reduce the pressure then reduce boiling point.

interesting question
boiling is when the pressure above the liquid is less than the pressure from the heated liquid, therefore pressure in the liquid causes the liquid to rise into the atmosphere
water doesn't have to be hot to boil, look at a pond on a cold day after a warm day
there is steam

PV=NRT. When you gain altitude, the water boils at a lower temp. (The Pressure is decreasing)
