HOCH2CH2OH has a higher boiling point since it is more likely to form Hydrogen bonds (intermolecular ones) than CH3CH2OH (two OH groups at the edge, against one), thus having a stronger effect of condensation of the molecules. By experiencing stronger attraction forces due to more hydrogen bonding, HOCH2CH2OH molecules will be harder to break and leave the liquid state.
I am no chemistry expert whatsoever, although I happen to know which one has the highest boiling point and a vague idea of why.
Hope this helps!

For a given functional group, as the number of carbon atom increases, the boiling point increases.
CH3NH2 boils at -7 to-6 °C or 266.5 to 267.1 K or 20 to 21 °F
CH3CH2NH2 boils at 16 to 20 °C or 289 to 293 K or 61 to 68 °F
The boiling point is always higher than the melting point.
The normal boiling point is the boiling point at sea level, or more precisely, at 1 atmosphere pressure. At higher elevations, or at lower atmospheric pressures, the boiling point is lower. At higher atmospheric pressures, the boiling point is higher.
The magnesium chloride solution has a higher boiling point.
The boiling point would be higher!
The freezing point is lower and the boiling point is higher.
The compound with the highest boiling point will be the one with the most and strongest intermolecular forces. Is there a list of compounds from which to choose?
Chlorine has higher boiling point.
The boiling point is that temperature when the SATURATEDvapor pressure of a liquidbecomes equal tothe surrounding pressure.Thus the higher the sorrounding pressure, the higher the boiling point.
The boiling point is higher.
Boiling point of NH3: -33,34 0C Boiling point of NF3: -129,1 0C The boiling point of ammonia is higher.
The boiling point is always higher than the melting point.
iodine is having higher boiling point
Heptane - longer the chain, higher the boiling point. Least amount of branches, higher the boiling point.
Higher then the boiling point of the solvent.
Sea water has higher boiling point,as it contains sodium chloride
The stronger the IMF, the higher the boiling point and the lower the melting point. The weaker the IMF, the lower the boiling point and the higher the melting point.
