Because most of Io's atmosphere is stripped away by Jupiter, there is nothing there to retain the heat. It is also really far from the sun. Even if Io had an atmosphere, the little heat it would reach from the sun would not make a signifigant increase in temperature. It is like trying to use a flashlight to heat a warehouse. It isn't going to work.

Io, one of Jupiter's moons, is extremely cold, with surface temperatures averaging around -143 degrees Celsius (-225 degrees Fahrenheit).

Why are there volcanoes on Jupiter's moons?

It is because Io is so close to Jupiter. This means "tidal forces" are caused on Io by Jupiter's gravitational field. These forces cause distortions inside Io, leading to volcanic activity. The moon Io is the most "volcanic" place in the solar system.
