Depending on whether people viewed the seizure as permanent or not, it would reduce the number of available bitcoins and, theoretically, cause a price increase. However, that assumes the volume of bitcoins demanded didn't also go down, which would most likely also happen since a large-scale seizure would reduce confidence in bitcoin and cause fewer people to use them (and many people holding them to try to sell them for traditional currency).
