I cannot give you a definitive answer because the calculations behind credit scores are complex, secret, and known only to the mathematicians who wrote them. Plus, the answer varies by person. If you have a fantastic credit score then the slight dip in opening a new account will be inconsequential.
I can say this: The act of opening and then closing a Gap credit card in rapid succession is not a good thing. Unless you already have a dozen or more tradelines, then this Gap credit card will probably not cause you any harm.
