Peel it off as far as it will go, then replace  with mesh drywall tape. Cover this with a thin coat of 'lite' drywall mud using a wide (6-8inch) metal spatula. next day sand very lightly with a rubber sanding block.

I'm sorry but "bubbyaxe's  answer is one of the stupidest I've ever seen. If you do this, your seams will spring again for sure.  This is one of the main reasons why mesh tape was made.
