With properly implemented Equal Energy Panning, the stereo mix should remain stereo, but be moved left or right by the amount of your pan.

For example, a stereo grand piano, with the low strings on L mic and mid/highs on R mic should remain basically that, but will exhibit a narrower spread than when panned dead center.

Best thing to do is try it. Load up a good single instrument stereo track and play with the panning. That stereo grand piano is a good one for it is a bit easier to hear the difference between the two tracks. A stereo acoustic guitar track may be more difficult to tell these things about.
