On the ground, the air pressure inside and outside the pillow balance one another. Atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude, so in an unpressurized plane, the air-filled pillow may explode because the air pressure inside it outweighs the external pressure.
nothing good I can guess
may or may not explode, but it's volume will definitely increase.
