In normal circumstances, nothing will happen. Gas tanks are designed and built to prevent leakage so there should be no propane in the air around the tank.

In the event that the tank becomes faulty or the valve is opened to let propane escape into the air, there is a risk of explosion triggered by cigarettes, other flames or a spark.
