The Gunpowder Plot was intended to blow up the English "House of Lords" while the King was conducting the state opening. This would have killed or injured the King, most of his Ministers and the Members of both houses. This would effectively have destroyed the government of England, and left Scotland without a king and several important figures in attendance at the English Parliament.
The resulting chaos throughout Britain would have permitted a Catholic Rising to replace James with his Daughter and possibly reverse or alter the Reformation in favour of the Catholics. However the plot was not particularly well organised and probably wouldn't have got that far even if the gunpowder had gone off.
