Most likely, as 6bq5 stated, all the raw material, that should be vaporized, is already gone from the cup. In that case you will end up heating the metal structure, which will outgas like crazy. So your net effect might be lower vacuum.
In the unlikely case that you still manage the vaporize the remaining material, the abovementioned outgassing is probably going to swamp that additional effect.
The best advice is to leave the tube alone, if its getter is still there.
