Neither.

Tepid or room temperature water is generally considered the best for house plants.

The following URL will take you to an article from The New York Times published in 1878 where the author uses very hot water as an unusual plant remedy.

I'm not sure I'd try it on an expensive or much loved plant until I'd experimented a bit.

The plant would die

It will kill the plant's roots. Roots are in earth, which is usually a steady 55 degrees F. and hot water will damage the roots if it is too hot. The material that the plant is in also serves to keep the roots at a steady temperature. Water with a temperature no hotter than room temperature.
