I've heard that if they pip with enough force to crack the egg that it will break the membrane. I've found that to be true but would not want to guarantee you that it's a "yes". If you're nervous you can do a safety hole or simply do a quick check under the pip/broken shell. I'm guessing you can see what's up upon closer inspection. It's not advised to mess with hatching eggs but no harm will be done to an otherwise healthy developed chick from having it out of the incubator for a few seconds. There is a lot that may or may not be going on with this egg. Your call.
I really don’t know
