It really depeneds on how wet it was to start with. Instead of trying to guess how much it will shrink, let it dry before you make anything out of it. You can buy some really inexpensive moisture meters to see how wet your wood is. That will let you estimate shrinkage and drying times. Please note that it is an estimate. Wood is an organic product and like anything organic, it is not entirely predictable.

How does pine wood react to changes in humidity and temperature, specifically in terms of warping?

Pine wood is sensitive to changes in humidity and temperature, which can cause it to warp. When exposed to high humidity, pine wood can absorb moisture and expand, leading to warping. Conversely, in dry conditions, pine wood can lose moisture and shrink, also causing warping. It is important to properly store and maintain pine wood to minimize the risk of warping.
