Does chili powder get spicier as it cooks?

I’m making a pot of chili today, something I do infrequently enough that I forget anything about the previous time. I tasted the chili powder I used before adding it, and it wasn’t spicy at all so I threw in a small amount of cayenne pepper. Tasting the chili as it cooks, it seems much spicier than it should be for the amount of pepper I used. Does the chili powder get spicier as it cooks?
