There is elevation in boiling point. If solute is dissolved in slovent the vapor pressure decreases. When the vapor pressure decreases then for the solution to boil one needs to increase the pressure by the same amount. For this we need to increase the temperature.
Hence, boiling point or boiling temperature increases.
