The same as the President's. If the current President dies, the Vice President completes his term as the President. A Vice President-elect normally assumes office shortly before the new President (noon on January 20 following the election). Under the 25th Amendment, a new vice president is nominated and confirmed whenever the office is vacant, assuming that it is not a very short period before a new President and Vice President are to be inaugurated.

Does president elect become president right at noon on on 20th even without oath?

The outgoing President's term ends at noon, and the President-Elect automatically becomes President at the same time regardless of whether or not he's taken the oath of office. HOWEVER, he cannot act as President, or in effect "execute the office of President of the United States" until he's taken the oath. For example, the Vice-President normally takes his oath before the President. Assuming the VP's been sworn in a few moments before noon, he would constitutionally be "Acting President" until the President takes his oath.
