Hello, I have Corsair Vengeance 12gb ram 2000mhz.

I find out it were working on 1333mhz, so I plan to overclock it , and I did , results were very good, but I notice that I can also overclock it more than 2000mhz, so what would happen if I overclock it over 2000mhz,

It depends on many factors like their normal max rating, BIOS and also CPU Memory controller. If you manage to OC it higher than their rating and it's stable nothing bad would happen but there's always a point of diminishing returns in real use other than bragging rights. If you are using integrated graphics like with AMD APUs, every little bit can help that segment.
