Reply to comment by LucyEleanor in Will a sheet of paper go brown with age over the decades if kept in a dark waterproof container? by west_ozzie
The lack of a protective atmosphere would probably leave it far more exposed to radiation if kept on the surface or in a container that isn't lead-lined or the like, which would probably degrade the paper...
But this is getting more convoluted and more than my limited knowledge and understanding can provide for - your best bet might be to reach out to Randall Monroe of XKCD.
Heck, it's the kind of question that belongs in his book: "What If?" https://www.amazon.com/What-Scientific-Hypothetical-Questions-International/dp/0544456866
