My adapter is broken, and I'm currently using another one while I'm waiting for a new adapter.

The input voltage and amps are the same for both adapters, while there are difference in the output specification.

The original adapter is 19V and 3.42A, and the one I'm using now is 20V 3.25A.

How will this affect the laptop? Is it safe to use this adapter for a week?

While the laptop will have circuits to protect against overvoltage and regulate the voltage to the needed levels (any decently-designed laptop should have those), this will result in some overheating which might be harmful in the long run.

Probably nothing bad will happen, however.
