It isn't possible to travel at the speed of light, so we cannot answer the question.

To elaborate, according to our laws of physics, it is not possible to travel at the speed of light. We use these laws to make predictions (describe what thinks look like) under certain circumstances. If our laws prohibit a certain set of circumstances, we cannot predict with any degree of certainty, what would happen if those sets of circumstances where to happen.
