Well, #"1-butylene"# has a boiling point of #-6# #""^@C#.....

Explanation:

#"Propylene"# has a normal boiling point of #-48# #""^@C#.

#"1-pentene"# has a normal boiling point of #30# #""^@C#.

#"1-hexene"# has a normal boiling point of #63# #""^@C#.

The longer the alkyl chain, the greater the degree of the intermolecular interaction, and these data reflect this. But you have not given us any data to consider.....
