It is better to simmer with the lid off. The purpose of simmering the sauce is to reduce it, or to boil some of the water out of it so that the flavors in the remaining sauce are more concentrated. If you leave the lid on, then droplets of water will form on the underside of the lid and will fall back into your sauce, defeating the purpose of simmering for a long time.

To open a jar of pasta sauce, first, grip the lid firmly and twist it counterclockwise to loosen it. If the lid is too tight, you can run it under hot water or use a rubber grip pad for better traction. Once the lid is loose, continue twisting it until it comes off completely. Be careful not to spill the sauce when opening the jar.
Simmer it for an hour or two with the lid on. the soup will be pretty much unaffected, except that any vegetables will become too tender. Too avoid this, simmer the meat until tender, then add any vegetables and follow recipe from then on.
