If the file has the same content, the upload will not proceed to avoid duplicates. If the content is different, the new file will overwrite the existing one. We advise you to make sure there aren't any files with the same name and different content in the pCloud folder you want to upload your items to, unless you intend to use 'Uploads' as a one-way backup process and want the latest version to exist locally and on the cloud.
