Weak intermolecular bond strengths typically result in lower melting and boiling points for a substance. This is because weaker intermolecular forces require less energy to overcome, making it easier for the substance to transition from solid to liquid (melting) and from liquid to gas (boiling). Therefore, the correct response is:

**Both the melting point and boiling point are lower.**
