Intuition says that the water would then exert more pressure on the container. Like if you emptied and sealed a plastic bottle while at sea level, and then ascended to a high altitude in an airplane (or climb a mountain). The bottle would be bloated. Whether or not it would explode depends entirely on the properties of the container..
