Every time you disconnect the battery the monitors will be set to incomplete.

Gas cap doesn't effect 'monitors'. Drive cycles that complete tests will trigger the monitors to be 'COMPLETED'
If you had a EVAP fault code, then the gas cap 'may' fix it, but you need to clear faults first. Then the system will do its tests as you drive.
