It doesn't. Oxygen is already a gas at normal temperatures. Which means it's boiling point is way below that of water, as is the melting point.

Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius. Oxygen boils at -183 degrees Celsius.

There is a maximum energy that matter can absorb while being in the solid state, when the amount of heat given exceeds the critical amount, it'll cause the solid melt and occur a phase change to a liquid.
