The variation of the boiling point of the hydrogen halides is in the order HF > HI > HBr > HCl. 
The higher boiling point of hydrogen fluoride is explained as:

1. The electronegativity of flourine is much higher than other elements in group
2. There is strong hydrogen bonding between HF molecules
3. The bond energy of HF molecules is greater than in other hydrogen halides
4. The effect of nuclear shielding is much reduced in flourine which polarizes the HF molecule
