Usually just a "geyser" but sometimes referred to with more detail as:

geothermal geyser

hot water geyser

When a geyser goes off the vent can be correctly referred to as an "eruption"; the "eruption" is the name of the event, while "geyser" is the name of the formation that is erupting.

Some moons in the outer solar system also experience geysers, but the temperatures of teh fluids are considerably colder - thus they are called "cryogeysers"; these eruptions consist of vapor without liquid; they are made more easily visible by particles of dust and ice carried aloft by the gas.

Mars seems to have some carbondioxide geysers at its south pole, but they seem to be driven by solar heating rather than geothermal warming.
