Like "L'istesso Tempo"
the duration of any particular note value remains constant.
Which is why one has to pay careful attention when changing between duple and triple metre, like 2/4 to 6/8, to be sure that what you want actually is what you notated.
Time signature changes have no effect whatsoever on the duration of notes. Time signatures only group the notes together, but a different grouping does not change the number of, say, quarter notes per second.
