Cory,

Various things could happen, such as thermal shock resulting in case cracking 
and possible cap rupture, a sudden drop in output of the coil due to rapid 
detuning as the cap changes value, or perhaps nothing (if the caps are 
warmish, they might form a gas layer around them that protects them from the 
cold liquid). I'd be nervous trying it though!
