Note that question 75 has only three choices.
75. In an operating automobile, the pressure on the coolant in the radiator is greater
than 1.0 atmosphere and its temperature is above 100. degrees Celsius.

to 1.0 atmosphere, causing the boiling point of the coolant to
- decrease
- increase
- remain the same
