Usually rate at 1.5 times the system voltage, in your case 5V, so the max
would be 7.5V so a 10V or 16V cap rating should do.

Subject: [SI-LIST] Voltage rating of a Ceramic capacitor
I have been asked to replace Tantalum bulk capacitor in a design with a
suitable Ceramic capacitor. The Ceramic capacitor is X5R type, which I
believe is more stable than Y5V. However, its voltage rating being 6.3V, I
am not feeling very comfortable to use it in the 5V application. Can
anyone advise me about the minimum voltage rating I should have for a bulk
Ceramic capacitor in a 5V application.
