What kind of head pressure would you experience if the condenser motor became inoperative?

The compressor would continue to operate until the high pressure safety switch shut it down, if the switch failed the pressure relief device would blow and you would lose all of the refrigerant. As far as how high would the pressure get, the settings on the two devices depend on what type of refrigerant is used and you do not mention that.
