I'm pretty sure its gas vapor and not really the barrel, like know how they design gas tanks with a air pocket at the top to allow for the extra pressure.

But thats a total guess not like a fact or anything.

It's the liquid and vapor in the barrel, it expands thermally. Don't worry about it. I had a whole shelving unit full of resins and chemicals in metal cans and they'd pop, ping, and bang all the time. Just temperature, nothing to worry about.
