I can't imagine that happening and boy do I have a good imagination. Even if it were exposed to enough heat to cause a rupture in the canister all it would do is discharge the fire fighting agent and smother a portion of the heat source.
It is dangerous but there is no need to stress out as bad as george has. I mean your stomach is full of strong HCl and in chemistry labs strengths vary from typically 0.01 M/L (extremely weak) to 2M/L very strong. In my opinion 1M HCl (pretty strong) would be best (you should be aiming for a pH of 1 to 2). As long as you take reasonable protective steps (lab coat, safety goggles, gloves and common sense) then I see no reason why using hydrochloric acid for this experiment should be a problem. In addition I actually think HCl is the best chemical to use as your stomach uses primarily HCl. By using this in your experiment you can draw a clearer comparison to real life.
