Glass thickness question

If I wanted to build a 36" x 36" x 22" aquarium what size glass should I use. Currently my 65 gallon which is 36x18x24" uses 3/8 glass. So could I use the same thickness if the one I want to build is only 22" high? Because of the lower head pressure? Or do I need a higher thickness because of the over all volume increase?

Thanks,
