DeltaT=208.8^circC The water will evaporate.

Explanation:

210^circC~~483K
0^circC~~273K
32L=0.032m^3~=0.032kg

m_oC_oDeltaT_o=m_wC_wDeltaT_w

12*7*(483-T)=0.032*4.18*(273+T)

#40572-84T=36.51648+0.13376T

84.13376T=40535.4835

T=40535.4835/84.13376=481.798074K=208.798074^circC~~208.8^circC

0+208.8=208.8^circC

As 208.8gt100 the water will evaporate.
