Not too critical, anything 13-20psi ish will work.
a 13psi cap increases the boiling pt of water by about 20 degrees. Bear in mind 50:50 antifreeze does something similar, you really should not be
troubled by the coolant boiling up unless there is a real problem elsewhere.

Check the diameter of the cap.
The original neck on my alloy expansion tank used a larger cap than the neck I replaced it with. I think there are only 2 standard sizes, but
don't get the wrong one.
