Radiator and radiator cap help

Hello, i posted before about random coolant loss and someone said it might be a bad radiator cap. How can i tell if its bad?

i remember i could read the warning on the cap perfectly, but now the ink is just smudged and faded, could it mean the radiator cap is allowing steam to exit the radiator?
