Default Water Heater TP Valve Occasionally Spits

A couple of times a week it spits some water out. Think it might be
worthwhile to change the valve first to see if the issue stops doing it?

Not much of a plumber here but have done my basic share. No problem
sweating pipes from TP valve that go to floor so I can unscrew the TP.


Two possible causes I can think of.

A TPRV that is failing.
Tank is overheating.

I would replace the valve first but it wouldn't hurt to test the water
temp.
