No. Boiling point is an intensive property — it does not depend on the amount of substance. A given pure substance has the same boiling point at a given external pressure whether you have a milliliter or a liter. Boiling point does depend on conditions (mainly pressure) and on composition (e.g., adding a solute raises the boiling point), but it does not scale with mass or volume.
