Nothing much. It isn't like your throat is going to rot away or anything, but I guess that depends on how wide you open your mouth. If you open your mouth as wide as it can go for weeks on end, it is very unhealthy for you for dust and other particles (life forms even) can go in and that wide open mouth probably means that you have trouble time breathing and need medication. Also, it will suck if an insect fell in but I'm pretty sure all these possibilities won't happen to you if you only slightly open your mouth while sleeping.

Does sleeping at a lower tempurature make your throat hurt?

Probably not; it would have to be VERY cold to cause a sore throat. A more likely explanation would be humidity; if you sleep with your mouth open, then your throat can become dry if the air itself is dry. Put a humidifier in your bedroom to keep the air at least 35% relative humidity. Or, keep your mouth closed and learn to breathe through your nose when you sleep. It's better for you, anyway.
