Voltage rating of caps is a 'maximum safe voltage rating' in other words it is the voltage level that if the circuit exceeds causes the cap to go 'boom!'. Replacing with a higher voltage rated cap is acceptable, but replacing with a smaller voltage rated cap is not.

You want to keep capacitance as close as you can.
