If it was the gas cap, it will take a few trips for it to go away unless you clear the code with a code reader.
There are a few things in addition to the gas cap that will bring on the gas cap warning.
It's telling you there is a leak somewhere in the Evaporative Emissions System.
If it detects a leak, and it happens to be soon after you filled the gas tank, it will assume you have not properly installed the gas cap, and will give you that warning.

Running with an EVAP leak won't hurt anything that I know of.
Go to an auto parts store that will check codes for free. See if there are any other codes.
If they won't clear the code, ask them to hand you the reader so you can clear it.
Drive for a while and see if it comes back.
