If there would have been even the tiniest existing cut or tear in the note, then the tear will spread or propagate very easily with a minimum of effort.
However, if the note is fully intact with no holes or tears, then it should be quite durable and incredibly resistant to tearing.
Bring it back to your bank and get an intact note.
