Nothing if it's a .crt file
Leaking the certificate if it's a .key file (where the actual key is). If the enemy has obtained the .key file, it may appear to be you - and no one will be able to tell it apart from you. The PKCS # 12 format (and other archives for key transfer) was not invented out of idleness at all.

Nothing will happen. The certificate is the public part of the key, it is given to the client every time they visit an HTTPS site.
