If the air pressure is too low, water pressure will partly/wholly fill much of the expansion vessel. Then any temperature increase and corresponding increase in volume may run out of space and lift the over pressure relief valve.
If the air pressure is too high, the expanding water lifts the relief before getting into the vessel.
