The only time I have seen a cap not open and what it did the system blew a hose because of to much pressure. If you put a cap on there with a little higher tension then it will run a little hotter but once it opens then it go to the over flow tank. The hight the rating on the cap means it lets the system build up more pressure which allows the coolant to get to a higher temp before boiling.
