critical temp. is the temp. above which a gas cannot be liquefied. a gas whose dipole moment is more has a stronger force of attraction between them and thus it is easier to liquefy them . it thus requires a high temp to overcome the dipole interaction and prevent them from liquefying.

Critical temperature is the temperature above which the vapour after a substance can not be liquefied. Critical temperature depends on the relative strength of the intermolecular interaction that holds a substance together as a liquid. Therefore more is the dipole moment of a substance more is the dipole dipole interaction and thus with increase of dipole moment, critical temperature also increases.
