I would go for a dry and semi-cold environment; probably 10oC should be the best. If you are able to seal the capsule, put some silica gel pads into it.
It is probably impossible to say, if it will survive or not. The LCD might fail, the FLASH-memory is even more likely to fail, plastics might degrade, contacts may corrode.
Judging from my collection, 20 years should be easy - think of all the 41Cs on ebay, those are around 20 years old and most of them work.
