Cork ball will stay up forever and a day.
The more standard pop-ups it depends upon the brand. I've had Quest and Solar, I think, not staying popped up overnight if pierced. I actually trialled the Quest ones in a jug of water where stayed popped up for days, cast them into a lake and it was different.

So for say a day or half days fishing it would be ok to hair rig a pop up as I would a bottom bait

Depth is the key variable.
Deeper than 4 or 5 feet and the pressure increases dramatically each foot deeper. Increased water pressure means the water will 'push' intto the bait much much quicker, bait takes on water and becomes saturated then sinks !!
