Suppose the liquid in the tube were to boil. In the first case, it might boil out of the tube and splash over someone; in the second case, the pressure will go up dramatically and could cause the container to explode.

How does heating a gas in a rigid container change pressure?

Heating a gas in a closed container would increase it's pressure. This would happen because when you heat the gas, the particles' kinetic energy increases, making them move faster, and more. They will hit the sides of the container and create pressure.

Should containers be closed when microwaving?

No, any container that is closed will develop pressure when heated. The water to steam ratio is ~1603 : 1. This means that 1 cubic centimeter of water expands to about 1603 cubic centimeters of steam. Any container that is tightly closed won't be if it is heated enough as that steam WILL find a way to escape often explosively. It is best to leave a small opening when heating anything.
