The lens would produce a complete image. Only the brightness of the image would be diminished.

Verification by experiment:

Apparatus required: a convex lens, a screen and a candlelight

procedure:

1. Place screen behind a lens placed vertically

2. Move the candle to obtain a clear full-length image of a candle on the screen

3. Cover half of the lens with the black paper without disturbing the position of the lens 

4. Note the observations

Observation: Size of the image is the same but the brightness reduces
