It will increase the boiling point of the solvent. In other words, it will take longer to boil. This is because the solute has intermolecular attractive forces with solvent making it more stable thus requiring more energy to overcome the attractions which is a higher temperature or boiling point.

RAISE
What is it called when the presence of a nonvolatile solute will do what to the boiling point of a solvent?
Boiling point elevation
Do other things other than salt increase water's boiling temperature?
Yes, most nonvolatile solutes such as sugar or glycerin will increase water's boiling point.
What Two types of this are boiling and evaporation?
decrease and increase
Why the boiling point of water is 98 in Kaghan?
The boiling point of water decrease when the altitude increase and the atmospheric pressure decrease.
Hydrocarbon boiling points increase the number of carbon or decrease?
the boiling points decrease on hydrocarbons as the length of the chain and the weight increases. the melting points increase with length and weight increase. Hope this helps.
Why doeswater's boiling point decrease with increase in elevation?
One word: Magic
Do solutes increase or decrease the boiling point of a solvent?
No; solutes don't decrease the boiling point of the solvent, they increase it! Solutes decrease the melting point of the solvent! Think of it this way: low goes lower (melting point) and high goes higher (boiling point).
How melting and boiling point varied in a period?
Generally melting point and boiling point increase up to group 6 and then decrease.
What is the term for the Boiling of a liquid caused by decrease in pressure rather than by an increase in temperature?
Cavitation
When starch is stirred into water will it increase or decrease the boiling or freezing point?
There is hardly any change
Why would the boiling point of a solution be higher than that of a pure solvent?
Liquids in a pure state have a specific boiling point.Water, for example, boils at 100 oC at 1 atm. However once there are impurities in the liquid the boiling point will be elevated. The degree of elevation depends on the quantity of impurity in the liquid.
