Depends on the context, but without context, I think probably version 2 as the default.

Hmm.. I think I'd still go with version 2? Since they are hypotheticals

Version 1: If museums are free to enter, there will be pressure to make other public places like parks, zoos, libraries, etc free too.

This will put a great financial burden on the government.

This would put a great financial burden on the government.

If some people continue to use cell phones while driving, they will have to pay a fine.

"Some people" implies only a certain group of people will have to pay a fine, but I think you're talking about people in general here.

I think it'd depend on the context you want to use it in. Like the other person said, version 1 is a scenario that is likely to happen, and when it happens, there will be pressure to make other public places free, or people will have to pay a fine.

In version 2, there's no implication that those things will actually happen. But in the event that they do happen, then the other things would happen.

thank you very much.

Which version should be used, version 1 or 2?

Version 1 is a scenario that is likely to happen.
Version 2 is contrary to reality.

For example:
v1 (likely to happen): It is cloudy. If it rains today, you won't be able to go for a walk. You will have to stay home.

v2 (contrary to reality): It is sunny. If it rained today, you wouldn't be able to go for a walk. You would have to stay home.
