If you are concerned about the open ERT, you could close it or, if you
don't want to even see it, I can suggest some other dark magic ;)
Place the cursor in the cell and open the table settings.
In the text field of the "LaTeX argument" entry, insert
>{\setlength{\parskip}{\bigskipamount}}p{4in}
and then apply.
Change \bigskipamount and 4in (this is the cell width) as you like.
This has the added advantage that you paragraphs will also be justified.
