Tension, probably, although it is not clear what play you are talking about.
it depends on the play. in some the minor characters play a very brief role in keeping the plot going, but sokmtimes that minor characters cause the entire plot to happen. they can reveal traits about the major or other minor characters. this is a super broad question, and the answer is equally so. depending on the play they can really affect any aspect(s) of it to any degree.
Women's roles in Shakespeare's plays were usually performed by boy actors. Shakespeare jokes about this several times - especially in Hamlet and in As You Like It. It was illegal during the Sixteenth Century for women to perform in plays, and most Elizabethan playwrights wrote only minor roles for female characters as a result. Shakespeare seems to have been one of the first playwrights to give women characters important roles in his plays - though after Shakespeare's time quite a few playwrights began to write important roles for women.

"Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" is a play written by Tom Stoppard. It reimagines Shakespeare's "Hamlet" from the perspective of two minor characters, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. The play explores themes of fate, free will, and the nature of reality.
They serve a more serious purpose. They are used by the King to spy on Hamlet, that's hardly comic relief. (Even though their fate was funny and well-deserved)
