You’d sneeze but that’s about it. It’s just a reflex to close your eyes when sneezing. There has been no evidence found to support the saying that your eyes will pop out if you sneeze with your eyes open.

Mythbuaters did a segment on it and Adam Savage forced his eyes open while sneezing and his eyes are perfectly fine because of it. https://mythresults.com/episode84#:~:text=If%20you%20sneeze%20with%20your,fly%20out%20from%20the%20force.&text=It%20would%20be%20impossible%20for,the%20eye%20inside%20the%20socket.
