Changing the Value Decouple Capacitordecoupling capacitor values

I'm building a small board that uses the MMA8453Q Freescale Accelerometer. The

The datasheet requires a 4.7uF7μF decouple capacitor on the Vdd\$V_{dd}\$ pin. I only have 3.3uF3μF or 6.8uF8μF capacitors on hand. Could I use them instead? WhatsWhat's the risk of using a different value decoupling capacitor?

Thanks a lot in advance! Ian Trout
