Actually being pressurized is what stops the water from boiling.
Either way there is probably a leak or a head gasket problem if you can't even see any in the radiator. Fill it with water, start the vehicle and let it run while slowly adding more to fill as it sucks the water through the system. Make sure you add it SLOWLY so as not to introduce air bubbles into the system which can cause vapor lock. Also squeeze the upper radiator hose to get the air bubbles out of it while filling
then watch where the water starts coming out of. If you can't see any water on the ground but its still disappearing, you have a blown head gasket.
