You can pop a boil but it is not recommended due the risk of further infection. You can make the boil come to a head by laying a washcloth rinsed in hot water over it. The will help the infection rise to the surface. As this happens the boil will open up and begin to drain.

IS it bad to pop a boil?

A boil is a specific type of infection of a hair follicle, with a necrotic center and pus around it. Not all pus-containing superficial infections are boils. Squeezing such a lesion (a boil) before it is ripe can lead to bacteremia, because the pus gets in the blood, and is not recommended. Waiting until it is ripe and it empties itself spontaneously to the outside is recommended. If opening is considered, it is better to use the knife than pressure as the means to do it. So, in general, no, don't pop a boil. yes as they can then become infected, it is better (If you can) to leave them alone and let them pop naturally.

Well, there is no difference in terms of the act of "boiling," but there is a grammatical difference. Saying "bring it to the boil" is unnecessary. There is no need for using the definite article "the" for "boil". Merely say or write "bring to boil" or "boil." These are good enough.
