answered-by-expert Expert Answer

In o-nitrophenol there is intramolecular (within the molecule) H-bonding is present.

But in case of p-nitrophenol, there is intermolecular (between the molecules) H-bonding is present hence the molecules are strongly associated with each other.

Hence o-nitrophenol is steam volatile.
