Without oxygen you will pass out after a few seconds and then suffocate after two minutes or so while sustaining massive tissue damage from freezing/solar radiation and your blood boiling inside your body.

However the rapid decompression will most likely rupture your lungs, so the short answer is: It would be pretty much an instant death sentence.

What will happen if you take your helmet off in space?

If you take your helmet off in space, the lack of pressure and oxygen would lead to rapid decompression. You would experience a loss of consciousness within seconds due to hypoxia, as the body would be unable to breathe.

Survival without a helmet in space would only last a few moments before irreversible damage occurs.
