The correct response is:
The molecules will have more kinetic energy because they will be moving faster.
As liquid water is heated to its boiling point, the molecules gain kinetic energy, which causes them to move faster. When enough energy is absorbed, the molecules overcome the attractive forces holding them in the liquid state, and they transition to a gaseous state (water vapor).
