The ideal gas law is pV=nRT
n (number of moles of gas) is negligible because there will be hardly any spray left in the can, and pressure (p) will be constant, but temperature (T) will increase to a very high value, and when multiplied by R (8.314), V (volume) will be very very large i.e. the can will explode.

What warning is written on an aerosol can?
"do not incinerate"
Why does the warning do not incinerate is needed on aerosol containers?
The container will explode when heated.
A warning on an aerosol can states Caution container may explode if heated explain Using the particle theory of matter why such a warning is necessary?
Heat causes particles to move faster, and the faster a praticle moves, the more energetic are its collisions, thereby exerting more pressure on the walls of any container that the particles are in, and enough pressure gives an explosion. This warning is necessary on aerosol cans because garbage is often thrown into incinerators, and that is not safe in the case of aerosol cans which will explode.
