Normal differential pressure modulated by Discharge Valve is below 8.7 psi approx.

Either flying higher than than the allowable altitude or increasing decreasing cabin altitude would cause the positive relief valve to open at approx 9 psi. That is the diff press between the cabin and the ambient.

Attempting to go higher than the allowable altitude would result in increasing the cabin altitude that eventually deploying all oxygen masks.
