Rules cover that:

 

3.7 e

"When a player, having the move, plays a pawn to the rank furthest from its starting position, he must exchange that pawn as part of the same move for a new queen, rook, bishop or knight of the same colour on the intended square of arrival."

3.10 b

"A move is illegal when it fails to meet the relevant requirements of Articles 3.1 – 3.9 "

 

So, that move would be illegal and if called by the opponent, the appropriate penalty would apply.

 

Article 7.5 covers illegal moves.
