Most planes have doors designed in a way that make it impossible to open them while there is significant overpressure in the cabin. Some do have interlocks.

The main risk is the door or the passenger opening it hitting something critical. Otherwise, you can primarily expect some injuries from stuff flying around, barotrauma to the ear, and an emergency descent, but not an "everybody dies" scenario.
