No it won't. The contents of the partition will stay in place,
fdisk only changes the partition table. When the volume
group is reawakened, it finds the data where it expects,
only there will be unused space at the end of the partition,
and pvresize will claim it.
At least that's how it works with normal disks, I don't
know if your hardware RAID does something strange.
