If you drive carefully, the trailer does not weigh more than the manufacturers' recommended weight, and the trailer does not bang into the back of your vehicle, then no, there will be no damage to your car.

Does auto policy cover damage done when the vehicle towing the utility trailer is damaged?
In dealing with a towed trailer, the liability coverage will extend from the vehicle towing to the trailer being towed but the physical damage coverage does not extend. This means that if you are backing up at a fuel station and the trailer backs into another vehicle then the liability will cover the damage done to the other car that is damaged by the trailer. Any damage done to the trailer itself will not be covered.
