Uh, I wonder how you got a pail of peanut butter but have no lid for it!.!.!.
Since its basically a pail of fat, and fat goes rancid when exposed to air, you need to cover it to exclude all the air!. It would also prevent it from absorbing things from the air that will affect the taste!. Thick plastic laid on the surface would do it, plain old plastic wrap won't do much but keep it clean!.

I would put it in an airtight container like a tupperware and put it in the fridge!. It's it's natural peanut butter it definitely needs to be refrigerated!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Put it into mason jars or plastic containers that have tight fitting lids!. No need to refrigerate!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
