Exactly what you might expect - that IP remains banned. However most major sites are aware of how this all works and only temp ban an IP address (or if it's banned because you're doing something naughty, they'll go to your ISP and complain).
It's trivial to force a new IP on most ISP's so IP banning is rarely effective for long. Plus if you're being particularly bad, they can ban entire ranges to get rid of you.
