It is not good to have tooth which is Rootcanal treated without the cap. As the tooth after rootcanal is more brittle and have chance to fracture of tooth.
Next Steps
Go to your dentist and replace the cap depending on the present condition of the tooth.

Consult your dentist. You can place this same cap again to your tooth, which will prevent your teeth from any fracture.

Do not eat hard food directly by that tooth.
Can consult the concerned dentist if it's not fractured, can be cemented back on tooth, which will definitely give required strength to prevent tooth fracture.

Get the cap cemented as soon as possible, otherwise, RCT treated tooth without cap has the highest tendency to fracture and if it happens so, it will cost you much more in future.
Next Steps
visit your nearest dentist

It is okay.
But it may or may not create problem as the tooth is brittle and has less strength after the RCT.
So if you have the cap keep it safe and visit the dentist to refix it.
Next Steps
till then do not eat anything hard from concerned side.
