Water does not boil at STP. STP stands for standard temperature and pressure. You've got to either increase the temperature or decrease the pressure.

Most likely you want to know what the boiling point of water is at standard pressure. This is complicated somewhat by the fact that STP is not as simple as it used to be and is now defined by IUPAC as 100 kPa but by NIST as 1 ATM (101.325 kPa). Using NIST standard pressure, the boiling point of water is 373.15 K; using IUPAC's value, it's 372.78 K (approximately... I couldn't find exactly 100 kPa in my vapor pressure tables, so I had to interpolate a little; that last digit may be off slightly).

Somewhat less likely is that you want to know what pressure is required to make water boil at standard temperature. Again, two competing standards; IUPAC's is 273.15 K and NIST's is 293.15 K. IUPAC's value leads to a pressure of 4.579 Torr, which is 0.610 kPa; NIST's value yields a pressure of 17.535 Torr or 2.34 kPa.

All values are straight from vapor pressure tables in the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (60th Ed.) modulo a units conversion, except for the one for IUPAC standard pressure which I had to interpolate as noted above.

1) Hydrogen GAS does not boil, simply because a gas is beyond the boiling stage.

2) STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure) is a set variable. Therefore, this question is syntactically incorrect, because you are asking: What is the boiling point of 'substance' at X°C and X psi, in which case you can't answer because of the already given temperature.

Does the larger the quantity of water result in a higher temperature at which the water will boil?

Technically speaking, boiling is when the pressure inside the system is equal to that of the surroundings. That means that you can boil water at room temperature if you have a vacuum pump. If you mean just to the heat that it starts to boil at STP, then no, it doesn't. Boiling point at STP is and always will be 100 degrees Celsius.
