It all depends on the situation.
If you are a user who regularly puts down correct information, nothing bad will happen. The answer will eventually be reverted back or deleted, and a friendly message might come your way with a notice that you accidentally posted false information.
If you are a user who has had a history of writing false information, you will probably be warned regarding your behavior. If you have been warned previously for posting false information, your account may be suspended.
