Default air stone still iceing over pond question

...
I got a air pump and stone this year, rather than running a water pump all
winter. We have around a 1200gal pond 3 ft deep, in Colorado, and are
having a colder year than normal.
So question is being the air pump is putting fresh air into the pond
will it hurt anything if it does ice over? The fish are down deep and in
winter mood and use less air and need no food right?
Will the gas get out or do I need to keep it open?
Thanks for the help.

I would keep a hole open so the gasses can escape.
