hey check the water pump. water could be broken and not flowing the coonat right to its backing up
Heater core could be plugged full of scale. Try flushing it out with a product like Prestone Super Flush
Is it overheating? If so, that opens up several other options. If not genuinely overheating, then the head gasket is leaking or the head is cracked pushing air into the coolant and then out the overflow.
