Nothing will happen as long as the magnitude of charges remains same ...

Explanation:

We know that protons are 1836 times more massive than electrons but they have same magnitude of charge overall. So, if we reverse the polarities the system would still be stable as long as the magnitudes of charges are stable and vice versa.
