The Pope will show up, say some encouraging words, and leave. The dominant religion will continue to dominate, and the laws will not be changed.

The Pope is just a figurehead, really, especially in Muslim countries. There is no benefit to those countries for relaxing their rules against conversion and proselytization. So, nothing material will change, I'm afraid.
