Yes — boiling point is an intensive property in the sense that it does not depend on the amount of substance. A given pure liquid has the same boiling point whether you have 1 mL or 1 L (provided pressure and composition are the same).
Caveats:
- The boiling point depends on external pressure (e.g., normal boiling point = boiling at 1 atm).
- It also depends on composition/purity (dissolved solutes raise/lower boiling point; mixtures can have different or range of boiling temperatures).
