The reason being that at any temperature where a liquid can be a gas (over zero degrees Celsius at standard pressure) some of that liquid will become gas.

Over time all of the liquid will become gas

And the reason for that is because the concept of temperature doesn't really work when you're talking about individual molecules. The average temperature might be 10° C but an individual molecule may very well get up to evaporation temperature, of course at that scale it doesn't really do anything other than disassociate itself from its neighbors.
