NOTHING. They will attempt to deliver it to the addressee, as usual. If the address is good, they will make delivery of it. If you’ve written it wrong, they will try to deliver it to the return address, which is the same place, so if it’s wrong, it won’t get delivered there either.
Can you send a package without a return address USPS?

Where does mail go if there is no return address?
Normally it is returned to the sender and the reason for non-delivery is marked on it, but if there is no return address the mail is sent one of the two Mail Recovery Centers, formerly known as Dead Letter Offices.
