The IRS might correct it and send you an adjusted refund with a letter of explanation.
If that does happen, you have the option of accepting their opinion, or contesting it.
The letter will explain your options
The IRS might NOT correct it right off the bat and send you the refund. They may find the error later and then send you a letter demanding repayment.
You might want to keep your eyes on your bank account. IF the inflated refund is paid, be sure to return the excess before April 18th to avoid added interest. If the IRS sends you the proper refund, you won't need to do an amended return.
Keep all IRS correspondence with your tax files.
