Depends where. If it's the first filter cap, the B+ will go up, though as Russ said it is not necessarily a problem. The second cap (usually after the field coil) it is not critical at all, wthin reason - the more the better (they probably would use more but at the time larger values were not as widely available).
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
