Default volvo overheating after opening radiator cap

I opened my volvo s40(2001) radiator coolant cap and now ,my volvo is
over heating... how can I restore pressure in the coolant to contenue
running in my engine. I looked up in y manual and it says that
openingthe the coolant cap can cause the coolant not to circulate
appropriately in the engine. can some one please tell me what i need to
do to get this thing going back to normal? i'm going crazy!!!!

You have something wrong somewhere. Opening the cap will not make it overheat.
