If you really feel the need to have whatever noise she makes expressed as dialogue, I would write it as "Hic!"

However, I personally would either write it as Hic! to indicate it's more of a sound than speech, or just relate it narratively:

Jane hiccuped loudly, startling even herself. She tried not to look embarrassed.
