Thanks, I had a feeling I was wrong. The point is that pressure in the cooling system helps raise the boiling point.

Good call.  The radiator cap needs to be tight as being loose will
lower the boiling point of the water.  Loose cap = nearly atmosphere
pressure, tight cap should be 3 bar/45psi (I think?).

No, that's the oil pressure gauge. Radiator caps are around 1 bar/15 psig.
