No, nothing will happen. The coupon will be voided and no charged will occur. Not sure how easy it is to get a document proving this.

Canceling a ticket is (almost) always free. If you want to use the residual value of the coupon, you have to pay the change fee in
new money and then apply the residual, so for your hypothetical you would pay $200 to receive up to $500 in credit to your new ticket. The payment is made at the time of the new booking, and any extra funds are issued as a UA ETC.
