yes it would, and it would boil at a much much lower temperature than here on earth. boiling point is dependent on air pressure (lower air pressure -> lower boiling point) and since the moon has essentially no atomosphere, room temperature water as soon as it is exposed would vapourize istantly

you can see the effect of pressure on boiling point on earth when you try to boil water on a high mountain, it boiling at a much lower temperature.

No. For a substance to be in liquid phase there need to be certain temperatures and pressures. The Moon hardly has any atmosphere therefore no pressure to sustain liquids, any liquid will turn to gas or solid.

There is no known liquid present on the moon. However, water ice was recently discovered in deep craters on the Moon's south pole.

No, any liquid water would boil off (because there is no air pressure) or freeze solid (because it is extremely cold) or both.

Well, since the moons is absolute 0 degrees, the water would freeze before it could float.

There has been no evidence of any liquid in any of the rocks returned by the Apollo astronauts. Many lunar orbiting spacecrafts have also searched for water on the moon without success.

Water cannot exist on the moon as a liquid.
