What happens when compressed air is suddenly let out like a puncture of a can?

You could get a couple of results. If the can is not secure it will probably become a projectile if the released air can overcome it's weight. The second thing that will happen is the compressed air will rapidly expand causing it to cool. That is how the compressor on an air conditioner works. Compression, then rapid expansion cools.
