First and easiest thing to check is if the radiator fans come on. Next would be the thermostat. A defective radiator cap could also cause this.
All of the above assume of course that your coolant level is proper.

Thats cant be right get a reserve coolant tank from any junk yard its not expensive and look around the engine block and check if something else is missing/modified.
