That depends on the type of fabric it is and also what is below it. If it is smooth and not sitting on numerous sharp edges and protrusions etc.
And that determins what will be.
Also here is part of the know if you will and it pertains to the whole thing.
#57 gravel can only compact roughly 1 inch.
With or without compaction, it will compact itself in just a matter of time. In other words what will happen will happen if things have been laid down and the gravel already spread and in place.
And there you have it.
You take care.
#57 can be rolled or lightly vibrated / tampered to help settle, and you can do that with landscape fabric underneath. You do not need to compact it.
Yes, compacting with a plate vibrator may cause ruptures in the fabric, depending on how angular your specific gravel is and the quality/thickness of the fabric. It might fail, or you might succeed, but the benefit of plate vibrating is likely minimal.
It is better to firmly compact the substrate fill first, apply the fabric, then spread and roll or tamper the gravel.
