The material in the test tube could become super heated, bubble over, or explode, depending on what it is. If you were pointing the test tube at yourself or someone else, the material could shoot out of the test tube and burn your face or the other person's face. As a former chemistry teacher, I have seen this happen, despite my many warnings. This is why you also need to wear goggles and a lab apron.

Why should you never heat a flask when sealed with a cork?

Heating a sealed flask with a cork can cause pressure to build up inside and potentially lead to an explosion. As the contents of the flask heat up, they expand and create more pressure inside the sealed container, which the cork may not be able to withstand. It's safer to use a vented closure or open container when heating substances.
