Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'burn' (to suffer by fire) + 'in' (located within) + 'hell' (a realm of punishment) yields the idea of suffering eternal punishment in Hell. This is a literal/metaphorical combination that a B1 learner who knows the constituents and cultural concept of Hell can readily infer, and similar formulations exist cross-linguistically.
Etymology
Burn in hell comes from the strong picture in many religions of a person on fire in hell, so the words burn and hell make a clear image of pain and punishment. That's why people use it as a very angry curse, wishing someone 'to suffer' or be punished after death.
