You're asking about a compound. So I would rather ask you that how can you increase the boiling point of a Compound?

In general, If it is a pure solution of a compound, dissolution of a solute or Impurity which is less volatile than the solution itself elevates the Boiling point. and erstwhile there is also a decrease/depression in freezing point.

Would you like explaining why is there a elevation of Boiling point?

@vivek: Elevation of freezing point can be done by adding an impurity which has got freezing point much higher than that of the solvent. though it's not a common phenomena.
am i correct?

No No no!, Elevation of Boiling point and not freezing point. It should be depressed instead!

boiling point if increases due to impurities, will lead to the decrease in the freezing point.

for d same reason that is...:)

let the elevatn in b.p be ΔTb = Kbm [assuming it to be a non-electrolyte]

hence m = ΔTb/Kb

therefore, ΔTf = (KfΔTb)/Kb
