This. Although finally the water will pass the critical point, at which a distinction between fluid and gas is impossible. So you could say, halfjokingly, that there is steam and isn't.

Actually no. There just is no space for steam to form and the container is indestructable as stated. It will heat with rising pressure until it passes the critical point. Then a distinction between fluid and gas cannot be made anymore.
