You risk getting dirt in it. Even tiny amounts of dirt can quickly destroy a trans.
You also have a small risk of fluid being pumped out of the opening.
Replace it ASAP.

Do not drive without it. the pressure of the fluid flowing through the mechanism will force your tranny fluid out the top. You can buy a new one at any auto parts store for about $3

Its unlikely that you would lose fluid. However, to be on the safe side, jam a piece of cork or a piece of cloth into the hole just to be on the safe side.
