Best Answer

Water at standard atmospheric pressure would be steam (vapor) at 120 degrees C.

However, that's not much above the boiling point. If you pressurize the steam, it's easy to keep 120 degree C water liquid. This is how a "pressure cooker" works; it prevents the water vapor from expanding much, which causes the pressure to increase.
