Not enough to worry about.

But if you have a uh meter (cheap from china) you could measure it. The metal foil under the paper tube will change the reading so it will need to be measured as an assembly and compared to the new one. I would not bother.

If you re-stuff the original cap the diameter of the coil could be preserved.
