Leo, here's the problem with your way to "determine this" it's based on the idea that not only  does a lightsaber's plasma act like real world plasma, which it doesn't, but also that plasma weapons that the shield may have faced act in a similiar fashion to Star Wars and/or real world plasma and I doubt they would. Basically what you are saying is

1) Lightsabers are made of a fictitious refinement of very odd plasma.

2) Has Caps shield ever faced a lightsaber?

As you can imagine the obvious answer is no. Lets reverse that method an see what happens.

1) Caps shield is made of a vibranium/adamantium composite alloy.

2) Have lightsabers ever cut threw a vibranium/adamantium composite alloy?

Again no. At this point your likely gonna point out that their is no way for them to because it doesn't exist in the Star Warsverse. This is true. However like I mentioned above plasma that behaves in the way displayed by lightsabers is also a fictitious construct and exist in that form only in the Star Wars Universe. In other words Star Wars plasma isn't real world plasma any more then Star Wars lasers are real lasers, which their not. Don't believe me look it up. In other words your a little to fixated on words instead of effect.

That is we know lightsaber produce heat and some form of coherent energy(in this case called plasma). We also know tha while multiple substances, not just phrik and cortosis, are resistant to them they are still highly regarded for their cutting power. We also no that Caps shield has dealt with immense heat and energy on orders of magnitude higher then the destructive potential displayed by lightsabers. Caps shield has survived things like ICBMs including heat and shockwaves and energy blasts from Thor's hammer. So unless you think that a lightsaber is more powerful then Thor's hammer give it up. The shield will have no problem resisting a lightsaber. Just like other constructs made from rare and incredible tough metals, with odd properties. Such as phrik, cortosis, beskar, songsteel, and ultrachrome.
