The particles will have more space between them and will be moving at higher speeds as steam.

The particles will have more space between them as a liquid, but they will be moving at the same speed in both states.

Explanation: at the same temperature the particles have the same average kinetic energy (so the same average speed for molecules of the same mass), but in the gas phase they are much farther apart (lower density) than in the liquid.
