Welcome to FT basebalman!

Have you checked Southwest's prices? It's going to cost you money and time to get to/from PVD to claim your baggage.

To answer your question: Your bag will eventually be pulled from the belt and kept in the airline's baggage office.

If you're planning on letting your luggage continue on to PVD, you may as well take both flights, claim your baggage that day and return to PHL on Southwest for $49+ taxes. If you install Southwest's Ding!, you may be able to rebook the flight into a cheaper fare bucket.
