Well depends on the max load the circuit can handle. If the circuit can sustain a max load of lets say 10 volts and you push 15 to it, the circuit elements will heat up and fry. Of those elements will include inductors, transformers (up and down) logic controllers, resistors, transistors, capacitors, motors, and a multitude of other components. Lets say computer for example, you would fry the CPU and possibly damage all the attached components! Either way it's a bad situation.
Just increasing the the resistance values of the resistors will not prevent damage. The designing of circuit boards isn't a fly by night type of thing. In some cases you can get seriously hurt or waste alot of money so exercise caution. Good luck.

According to Ohm's Law, increasing the voltage keeping the resistance constant will increase the circuit current proportionately.

The current will increase: think in terms of ohms law which states
current = voltage divided by resistance or I = E/R
Power will also increase and heat up the circuit more again think in terms of ohms law for power:
watts = voltage times current. or W = E x I
or
Power in watts = current squared times resistance P = I^2 x R
Where:
I=current
E=voltage
R=resistance
P= power in watts

As you know that V=IR.
When you increase the voltage (V) by keeping the resistance (R) constant, then the current I (Amp.) will increase.
Get it tested in your Physics lab.

High voltage currents burn low resistant conductors.

Part of it will get warm then smoke and then burn.
