Will last a long longer.......maybe over a week you will notice a drop in pressure.

you should entirely deflate the tyre, and re-inflate with a track pump once you get home - however, CO2 wont just pour out of the valve like helium! It will be good for a week or two.
Even with normal 'air' My tyres go from 120psi to 100psi in 1 week - with CO2 it will be faster than that.

Also, if buy the canisters from Tyre Inflators rather then the usual Cycling E-Tailers.
It works out far cheaper. 10 for 6 squids.
