Using a closed system experiment will a leak during gas evolving reaction overstate or understate the amount of sodium bicarbonate in an alka seltzer cold tablet?

It should be obvious that if some CO2 leaks out the amount of CO2 measured will be less so it will be understated. What is it about this problem you don't understand.

But is it an understate in Sodium Bicarbonate not CO2?
Answered by DrBob222
Too little CO2 means too little NaHCO3.
