No! Don't pop it. It needs to heal and your body is trying to make that happen. Opening it just invites infection (or further infection, if it already is).
Are you taking care of it like you are supposed to? Have you used sea salt (dissolved in warm water)...very healing and usually recommended by piercers.
I have had a lot of piercings, but not in my lip, so I am not sure what the typical healing time-line looks like for that particular area. If in doubt, call the place where you had it done.
Go see a doctor. Or go your county hospital if you go no cash.
