Then I would ride it and keep an eye on tension. My chain gets fscking slack some times and I tell myself "must sort that" and i get around to it eventually.
If it looks like it will come off the chainring or cog when pushed sideways I'd tighten it. Cheap bike? Don't bother with new chainrings coz the next one you get will probably have the same issue, perhaps to a lesser or greater extent.
