There is usually a small amount of pressure in every cooling system which serves the purpose of raising the boiling point as Jano said.

It's the heat which cause the pressure to rise in the first place, so until it cools down the pressure won't go anywhere, unless you take the cap off expansion tank. This is a bad idea if its still red hot!!
