You could probably go higher in voltage rating if the component package isn't excessively large for where it needs to live.
Voltage rating on a capacitor is basically the highest voltage you can apply across it and expect it to live. Higher voltage rating than stock usually means less failure prone than stock, though with electrolytics more than doubling the voltage can lead to the cap dielectric not staying formed up.
