Whistling sound after driving

I live in Florida where it does get hot. After driving a while and turning off the engine, I hear a whistle. I opened the gas cap and there was a big whoosh and the whistle ended. Is the gas cap usually venting? Any suggestions on what is happening and how to fix? Many thanks. Jerry

there is supposed to be a ventilating system other than just the gas cap. the tank usually holds pressure though.
