I was told to buy a new gas cap so I did but that didn't help the problem

the fuel system is a closed system- but it is vented to prevent a build up of pressure- this is pretty simple, so it sounds like the vent is faulty- it is usually vented through a charcoal canister to prevent gas fumes from reaching the atmosphere- start there-

I assume you take cap off and let air come out before trying to add the gas. Because if not it shouldnt allow gas to enter until then. I notice my car does it more in warmer months than cooler months.

Your canister vent may not be operating properly or the canister is clogged up.
jamnblues answered 2 years ago
look at the top of the gas tank- there are hoses coming out- fuel lines- one of them must be a vent hose- follow it- you can just disconnect it to test and see if that relieves the pressure- you must hook it back up, however or your car will smell like gas-
