The lid is cooler than the steam (water vapor) produced by boiling the water. When the water vapor contacts that cooler surface, it condenses into liquid water.
Water droplets form on the underside of a pot of warm rice due to condensation. When warm air comes into contact with a cooler surface, it loses its ability to hold moisture, causing the water vapor in the air to condense into liquid droplets on the cooler surface.
If the water vapour comes in contact with a surface and is allowed to cool and condense, it will turn back to liquid. For example, if you were to boil a pot of water with a lid on top, the water vapour would rise, touch the underside of the pot lid and condense to form droplets (liquid).
When there's a lid on the pot, the pressure of the steam builds up until the steam raises the lid a tiny amount (you may feel the lid floating on its rim since it will spin easily) and the water escapes the pot in the form of steam or water vapor. A pressure cooker is a pot with a lid firmly attached to the pot via clamps or some other means. This does prevent the water from leaving the pot. A large build up of pressure can cause the pot to explode, To prevent this a pressure cooker has escape valve(s) built in to release steam when the pressure is too high.Then water will leave the pot.
The water will continue boiling and might bubble over the sides of the pot, potentially creating a mess or even burning someone. It is recommended to adjust the heat to prevent this from happening or to use a larger pot.
Increasing the air pressure in the pot will raise the boiling point of water. This is because with increased pressure, water molecules require more energy to overcome the higher pressure and vaporize, leading to a higher boiling point than at normal atmospheric pressure.
Condensation. The air on the outside of the pan will be cooler than the air inside the pan leading to the lid being cooler (maybe only slightly) than the steam inside the pan. When the steam hits the cooler lid it will cool down and condense to form the water droplets.
Boil it with a cup and a lid on. Boil it for 10 minutes and open the lid. The water droplets under the lid will be colourless

Yes, water can condense while boiling, particularly at the surface of the liquid or on cooler surfaces nearby. When water boils, it turns into steam (water vapor), and if this vapor comes into contact with a cooler surface, it can lose energy and condense back into liquid water. This is often observed as droplets forming on the sides of a pot or lid during boiling.
Yes, boiling water with the lid on can increase efficiency and speed up the boiling process by trapping heat and preventing heat loss.
It is better to simmer with the lid off. The purpose of simmering the sauce is to reduce it, or to boil some of the water out of it so that the flavors in the remaining sauce are more concentrated. If you leave the lid on, then droplets of water will form on the underside of the lid and will fall back into your sauce, defeating the purpose of simmering for a long time.
If there is a lid on a pot of boiling water, it can trap steam inside, leading to increased pressure and eventually causing the water to boil more vigorously. It can also result in the water boiling over the edges of the pot or the lid rattling due to the steam pressure.
air is escaping. boiling veg in water causes air bubbles to be formed, which pressurize the lid up. Jimmy Neutron
If the lid is tight enough to raise the pressure in the pan (as in a pressure cooker), the boiling temperature will be higher. However, if the lid just sits loosely on top, it will make the water boil sooner because not as much heat is lost and the water heats up faster.
If the water vapour comes in contact with a surface and is allowed to cool and condense, it will turn back to liquid. For example, if you were to boil a pot of water with a lid on top, the water vapour would rise, touch the underside of the pot lid and condense to form droplets (liquid).
Water will evaporate faster with alid on the pan, this is simple rule of kinetic energy
Boiling water with the lid on will make it boil faster because it traps the heat and steam, increasing the temperature inside the pot.
