how much would being blindfolded drop a pros rating?

I’ve been watching blind folded chess and have seen how the top players can still play extremely well with a blindfold. This made me wonder how much being blindfolded would drop a pros rating. Around what range would it be and do you think pros could remain near the top even with a blindfold?

I believe playing blindfold is a skill in it of itself. With enough practice there would barely be any rating difference especially for one on one.
