When we heat the paper cup containing water, the heat given to it is rapidly transferred to water from the paper cup. The temperature of water goes on increasing until it attains its boiling point, and starts boiling. As, during this process, the heat is continuously being transferred to water; the paper cup does not attain its ignition temperature. Hence, it does not burn.
