You dont list the pressure capacity of the pump so an absolute answer cannot be given. The flow will either stay the same or decrease to zero as the pump blows up due the added pressure needed to maintain the positive displacement 10 gpm flow. At 500psi to drive 10gpm thru a 1/2sqin orifice we are talking some pretty viscous fluid. ... thats like -- 3/4" dia

In that case you have the answer. I just covered both possibilities. Sorry for the confusion.Sorry larry, you are making this more complicated than it is....you do not even have to think about fitting sizes....OK...any pressure can be considered way below your "pump capacity"....
The fitting/orifice size does not affect the answer. It was just a comment on the boundary conditions. You must be pumping molasses in January.
