Because water boils at a higher temperature when it is under higher pressure. 100 degrees Celsius is its boiling point at 1 atmosphere, or the average pressure at sea level. Lower pressures will cause water to boil at lower temperatures.

What is the advantage of a pressure cooker in the term of physics?

In pressure cooker temperature rises to about 120 degree centigrade due to higher pressure than atmospheric pressure. Witch makes it makes food to get cooked faster than in open pot where water boils at 100 degree centigrade. Pressure cooker becomes essential at high altitude where water may boil at about 70 degree centigrade.

Why the boiling point of water in pressure cooker high?

A pressure cooker minimizes the escape of fluids or air. The build-up of air and fluid increases the pressure inside the cooker, which also increases the boiling point. An open kettle allows the fluid and air to escape, heat is lost thus cooking time is longer.
