Or…… would it be wise for me to loosen or remove the gas cap for a couple of days to hopefully let some of the trapped fuel in the canister evaporate??

You need to purge the lines. The gas won’t evaporate on its own and it’s effecting the rest of the evaporation system performance. You might have to replace your charcoal canister if it’s saturated. In general you should never overfill these cars because the evaporation systems are complex and unforgiving.
