Opening SOME of the water tight doors in the bow?

[R.M.S TITANIC]

I've had this nagging question in my mind... What would happen if not all the water tight doors were open, but say... the first 6 or 7? Would it settle the ship a little more evenly and make it so the ship would sink slower allowing more time to get off? Or would it make the ship sink faster?

Sink faster.
The first 6 compartments were already flooding (the 7th would be BR 4) how would open doors as you ask make the ship settle more evenly?

I thought opening some of the doors would make the water spread out a bit more evenly so the ship settles a bit.

The problem with that is it would heavily increase the chances of Capsize.
