More than likely they'd be closer together, since most people cut their risers to shoulder width or smaller. Your chest will be more compacted, and you likely won't be able to breath as well, so you'll have a harder time climbing. Plus, you lose one hand position, so if you're grinding up a hill, you won't be able to switch to the end for some relief.
But no one ever put risers on their track bike because they're the practical choice.
