    Stalemate! Very interesting. I'd lose that for sure OTB.

    Stalemate by either taking the queen and pawn or lack of a legal move.

    In that case after Kd5 white simply takes the queen
    Rxe4+ then Kxe4
    Ke2
    All black can do is move the pawn resulting in a draw anyway or move the king to Kd4 then white move to Kc2
    If white tries to advance the pawn whilst defending it with the king white can simply put his king on b1 or b2, stopping the pawn and refuting the king's attempt to get the king out of the way.
    With accurate play easily a draw.
