Check the list of changed files against the template files. If there are same files you need to merge the changes into the template files. If there are changes in template_default files you will want to merge these into the template override files if they exist.

Thanks,

As long as the template didn't require any changes to the ZenCart 'core' files (those that are a part of the ZenCart distribution files), and as long as all of the template files are in their own folders, then yes, they will stay intact.

FWIW, although it is generally recommended to compare the files for any relevant changes, I generally find it quicker and easier to forgo this step (especially for template related files) and just go ahead with the upgrade, and if this does happen to 'break' things I'll just re-install the template according to the original instructions.

You should keep a full back of the site before doing this though, because there are often(?) times when the template files have had their own modifications for any given store, and performing a reinstall of the template will negate those changes.

While this holds as a general rule (the template-related files change *very *rarely), the template-file handling of a product's URL ***did ***change in v1.5.3 and the checkout-payment template-file handling changed in v1.5.4. As such, it's best to do a full file-system file compare just to be certain that you've picked up all the changes and corrections.
