This may depend on the recipe.
Simmering with a lid on uses less heat than with the lid off.
Leaving the lid on means that evaporation will be lower - but sometimes the purpose of simmering is to reduce the amount of fluid.... so this may be necessary.

When making spaghetti sauce simmer with lid on?
It is better to simmer with the lid off. The purpose of simmering the sauce is to reduce it, or to boil some of the water out of it so that the flavors in the remaining sauce are more concentrated. If you leave the lid on, then droplets of water will form on the underside of the lid and will fall back into your sauce, defeating the purpose of simmering for a long time.

Why does spaghetti sauce go watery when put on spaghetti?
Basically all you did was rinse your spaghetti after you cooked it. You removed the starch which makes the sauce stick. When you do this the pasta becomes waxy and the sauce will run off. Contrary to popular reading, I quit rinsing my pasta after cooking, with the exception of elbow noodles. If you overcook your pasta, you're not allowing it to absorb that last bit of moisture out of the sauce. Best way to avoid watery sauce is to take your pasta out of the boiling water when it is not completely cooked (this is called "al dente"), then, without rinsing it, finish your pasta in the hot sauce until you reach the apropriate doneness.
