It would go off as designed; there would be light, but no sound, and the shrapnel would continue moving away (no atmospheric friction), until eventually hitting or orbiting a planet or the Sun.

If a grenade went off in space, it would create an explosion but the lack of oxygen and atmospheric pressure would affect the blast. In the absence of a medium to transmit the shockwave, the explosion would still release energy and light, but its impact would be significantly reduced and its shape could be distorted. Overall, the explosion would be relatively contained to a small area and not have the same destructive effects as on Earth.
