By boiling the substance, you can compare the actual boiling point of water in given conditions to that of the sample.
However, analogues can be made which will have an identical boiling point, yet contain little or no water at all. Hence, boiling alone cannot ascertain what something is. This holds for all physical tests - you must use chemical tests as well to determine exactly what composes a sample.

What name is given to the temperature at which a gas turns into a liquid?
The name given to the temperature at which a gas turns into a liquid is the "condensation point" or "boiling point," depending on whether the transformation is from gas to liquid due to cooling or heating, respectively.

For an acid, the solution remains colourless or unchanged. For an alkali, it would turn fuschia.
Which boils quicker liquid with high boiling point or liquid with low boiling point?
A liquid with a lower boiling point will boil quicker because it requires less energy to reach its boiling point compared to a liquid with a higher boiling point.
