How long can a new monarch butterfly live in captivity?

My daughter had a caterpillar inside a 2 liter soda bottle that we made for its home. It just came out of the chrysalis and is a butterfly, but my daughter is not home to see it. She will be home tomorrow night. My question is can I keep the butterfly in the bottle (the top half is cut off so the butterfly can be released) until tomorrow night or do I have to let it go now?
