The problem could be as simple as a loose or faulty expansion tank cap or a leaky hose. Anything that causes a loss of pressure will result in overheating. While the pump might be bad, I would suspect the cap or hose or even a cracked expansion tank.
If you have verified that there are no plumbing leaks, and you get a steady stream of bubbles in the expansion tank at the small hose from the radiator, then I would suspect a bad headgasket. A cooling system pressure test, compression test and an "exhaust gas in the coolant" sniffer test will help pin down the problem.
