I really would worry about it, as long as coolant level is full and engine is not overheating. Pressure builds up as coolant heats up. Cap should be 17 psi

Don't want to speak for slowroll but he means "really wouldn't worry about it." Ditto for me, you can squeeze the rad hose on most cars, just try someone elses.

Don't worry about it, life too short.
