Managed "correctly" there will be no rpm increase when the prop is set fine before landing. Perhaps a level of finesse that is seldom taught but that's the way I fly my CS prop. (Correctly is in quotes because someone is sure to say that if the aircraft is flown as specified in AFM/POH there will be an rpm increase).
