multimeter - Resistor before voltmeter


Let's say I take my multimeter and measure the voltage across the poles on my battery, I get some reading X volts. I then put a resistor between one terminal and the adjacent probe, this resistor has resistance Y ohms.


First:

Then:

simulate this circuit


What will the new voltage reading be?
