Pour chili into a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until warmed through, 5 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat and keep warm until ready to serve.
Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
Drain any accumulated water from the squash halves. Shred squash equally into 4 individual serving bowls. Top with chili and shredded Mexican cheese blend.
