On the other hand, if you place a 301 redirect, any visitors to your old URLs will be redirected to the new ones, and search engines will update the pages in their index over time.
In short, you will keep your traffic.
301, 302 and 307 Redirects
You may have come across 302 redirects before and thought they were the same thing. They are not. While a 301 is a permanent redirect, a 302 is temporary and should be used when a page is temporarily moved.
That said, 302 redirects have every reason to be considered and are often used when testing changes or getting customer feedback, and the original page then needs to come back.
Historically, using a 302 redirect instead of a 301 was uganda phone number data thought to result in the original page losing its rankings, as it was thought not to pass PageRank. But in 2016, Google's John Mueller confirmed that this was not (or no longer) the case, and that 302s do indeed pass PageRank.
You can read Mueller's comment below:

"There is an old confusion between 301s and 302s; 302s do not present any problems [regarding PageRank].
I will write about it soon"
A 307 redirect is also used as a temporary redirect. The difference between a 302 and a 307 is that the HTTP method remains the same when using a 307 redirect, whereas with a 302, the HTTP method can change.
If the change is permanent, use a 301.
