Depends on what the capacitor is doing. You should also make sure the ripple current and temperature ratings are at least as good too.

well i need it in power supply of television set as i am not having availability of 330uf 250v
 

The difference in capacitance probably isn't a problem (if it's bigger than the original), but the ripple/temp ratings are important.

well frnds thx for the help but my 470uf 250v capacitor got blown up after few min. of working i guess there is impedance matching problem in it as there are two capacitor of 330uf 250v in power supply ckt
i will update as soon as i get 330uf 250v capacitor.
thx
 

It probably didn't blow up because it was 470uF instead of 330uF, so don't expect getting the same capacitance will fix the problem...
