I'd start with the easy and cheap answer first, replace the radiator cap. Maybe the cap has a broken or weak spring, or the seal is worn out, so just change it.

Is the engine overheating? Are you losing coolant? Is there any coolant in the oil? You didnt mention any other symptom except smoke so maybe your head gasket is not blown and all you need is the cap.
