    Answer:

    Higher than

    Explanation:

    The boiling point of a solution is a colligative property

    Atoms present ∝ Colligative Property (Boiling Point)

    Since KCl is a strong electrolyte, it completely dissociates into K⁺ and Cl⁻ ions, which doubles the number of atoms as compared to what was initially added

    Now it's competition is very weak, Pure water has nothing else dissolved in it. which means that our solution will have much higher boiling point as compared to Pure Water
