If the temperature of the O2 in the container rises as a result of being abandoned for quite some time, the pressure in the container will increase and this may either lead to an explosion or leakage of the gas.

What is the relationship between temperature and pressure of a gas?

At constant volume, the pressure of a gas increases with increased temperature as a result of an increase in the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules which increases the collision rate among the molecules.

Thus, if the temperature of a gas in a container increases, the pressure inside the container will also increase. This may lead to the gas leaking from the container or the container may even outrightly explode due to pressure.
