Good idea, but... What you can fill with air, can be compressed but won't
break or leak? Or what material can be sufficiently compressed (losing volume)
and doesn't contain air?

What I have been thinking, instead, is to use a pressure security valve to
screw on one of the two capacitor caps (or on the box wall). An easy
alternative
could be one of those from italian style coffe cookers: they have always got a
small one screwed on the side. 

The problem is that probably their trigger pressure is too high for our
purpose: I have to look around for something like those.
