How would no lid on the coolant reservoir effect the car?

I have an 02 honda civic ex that is overheating. i was wondering if not having the lid to the coolant reservoir would effect that at all?

When the pressure builds up the coolant is gonna come out of the reservoir due to its not sealed -start by checking the thermostat
