If you dont have a hose clamp on it then you need to put one on. If there is one on and its still blowing off then you can try changing your coolant cap (may be stuck in a position to build up to much pressure). The third thing is that you may have a blown head gasket and combustion gases are blowing into the coolant and causing the hose to blow off. Check your oil dipstick and see if the oil looks milky in color. If not then have a pro check your car for a blown head and etc.
