I would guess a spiral,as the aircraft is actually flying a circular course in space, thus causing the gyro to precess, and as it continues its precession, a heading held with reference to the gyro would be a spiral. Direction of the spiral would depend on direction of spin of the gyro, ground speed, and possibly direction of flight.
