Nothing, really. It's food-grade plastic and it will come out the other end.

Now, what happens if you seal high-pressure hydraulic oil systems with it? Let's find out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1RYVSmuOmc

What if it's chicle, does it differ?

It would be an achievement on itself to find true chicle, the vast majority of chewing gum worldwide is synthetic rubber.

Why is the pressure gauge full of liquid? (Presumably water? but why / how?)

Quite the talker there :)

Edit: Got it Shog9, thanks!

Probably not water. Purpose is to dampen vibration, making the needle easier to read and possibly protecting the mechanism a bit. https://tameson.com/pages/liquid-filled-pressure-gauge
