As this question is a "What-if?" there is no perfect or unassailable answer. As a result, you may have different views below (as well as the Expert Answer above).
Answer 1
It could be more likely to be conquered by other kingdoms like the French and English and then Spain would've never spoken Spanish
Answer 2
At least two thirds of Spain would then have remained a Muslim country. It would then probably not have forcefully repelled the Ottoman forces from the western Mediterranean but it might well have joined up with them, which would have enormously increased Muslim power and influence in southern Europe.
Spain's history was further heavily influenced by it colonization of great parts of the Americas, in which - apart from finding treasure there - was to a large extent driven by Catholic conversion zeal. Spain might not have aimed for this colonial empire under Muslim leadership, although you cannot be sure about that.
Another difference might have been (although this too is speculation) that after initially joining up, a fierce power struggle might and one ore several wars have ensued between the two big Muslim powers (Spain and the Ottoman Empire) for dominance of southern Europe.
It is doubtful if the other European powers would have decided to fight Spain because of its Muslim dominance. Most of these countries over the centuries tried to to have a good (if possible, excellent) and peaceful relationship with the Ottoman Empire and they would probably have wanted good relationship with a Muslim Spain as well.
Answer 3
As a purely a perfunctory answer, if the Spaniards had not defeated the Moors, the Moors would still continue to rule Spain.
