Yes, any time a capacitor blows while in a circuit it is good to replace it with a higher voltage capacitor. The cap can only charge to what the circuit's voltage is so you don't have to worry about over doing it or anything. It will perform the same as the old filter capacitor but is less likely to blow when the voltage spikes. It will smooth it out just as intended and work for a long time.
