Simple enough. get the container of hydrogen and a lit splint (a match will do). open the container and put the match/splint over the opening. If there is a pop noise, it is hydrogen.

One common way to test for hydrogen gas is to use a lit splint. When a lit splint is brought near a sample of hydrogen gas, it will produce a squeaky pop sound if hydrogen is present. This is due to the combustion of hydrogen gas in the presence of oxygen.
