I'm not going to get type specific, so whether it is minus 12 or 20 degree blade angle it doesn't really matter as long as the propeller blade angle passes through the arc where blade forces causes the propeller to be in windmilling mode.
If the power is applied when the propeller blade angle is in this arc, propeller overspeed will be likely since propeller torque will be acting in the same direction as engine torque, ie. propeller will be driving the engine.
In this case the prop governor will prevent prop overspeed.
