The dye will become a gelatinous sludge, instead of a fairly clear solution. The vinegar reacts with the dye to form a precipitate (new chemical substance) which will form either a sludge or a gel. This means that the dye might not stick properly to eggs, and may coat them with a gooey substance.

The final result varies depending on the manufacturer and exact chemical composition of the orange dye. Some pysankary will purposely add vinegar, even the dye will get gooey because the color sticks better and is brighter. This is particularly true of Ukrainian orange dyes.

If this happens to you, it is usually best to throw out the dye and mix up a new batch......without vinegar. But it's worth trying to see if the dye will work for you in this state.
