Why does water in the vehicle boils even after the ignition is turned off?

If the engine has been running and is hot, shutting off the ignition allows the water in the water jacket to continue to be heated. Therefore, until the engine cools down below boiling temperature, it will continue to heat the water.
Boiling is prevented by a couple of things; anti-freeze (which raises the boiling temperature) and the radiator cap (because water boils at a higher temperature when under pressure).
If your car is overheating, you should not remove the radiator cap (until the vehicle is cool), you can be severely burned as the pressure drops rapidly, boiling the liquid and forcing it out of the radiator!
