None, you shouldn't even be using it (with any barrel size) if it does that. The safety margins are obviously either non-existent or far too narrow to be acceptable.
You'll need to build a new chamber I'm afraid, out of much stronger materials.

Lik Ragnarok said, whatever you built this gun out of is not suitable.
What did you use? Pressure rated PVC, if properly glued, will handle any standard combustion scenario even if the barrel is pluged. ("standard combustion scenario"= simple fuel like methane, propane, butane, gasoline, alcohol, ... at 1 ATM pressure).
What exactly is you "lid"? A threaded cleanout plug, even if it isn't pressure rated, will survive a closed chamber combustion up to at least 4" diamter.
