With respect to a pure solvent....

Explanation:

...a dissolved solute should #"(i) elevate the boiling point"#; #"(ii) reduce the melting point of the solution"#; #"(iii) reduce the vapour pressure of the solution"#...

And the amount of elevation/reduction should be proportional to the NUMER of solute particles in solution, i.e. vary proportionally to the concentration...
