Unless the underlying fare requirement become invalid (example - a 7 day advance purchase is put on hold and then it become <7 days in advance), the price is to stay the same. I've personally have never run in to a case where I've put a fare on hold and then come back to find the far has increased and the held fare is no longer available.
