Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

No way of knowing as you give us no actual information.

You should know that by adding capacitors in parallel the total capacitance is the sum of the parts, however each capacitors voltage rating must be adiquite for the application but not necessarily the same.

For example on a 12V bus you could have 100uF/25V and 220uF/63V the result would be 330uF/25V.
