I would say it will fail completely, which is good because not all engines have diff press sensor(s) for press-scav side to notice problem. If pump stops, you get low press warning and you will shut down engine. If pump runs only partially you may ruin whole engine or greate other oil related problems before you notice anything wrong with it.
Scavenge side is very important part of the pump on jet engines.
