If the UK stays in the EU despite this referendum result, then there will be significant civil unrest and it will lurch even further to the right. I doubt it would be in the benefit of the EU to have a member state who's population chose not to be in it, and yet are forced to stay in it. That is the sort of unrest that will spread across borders.

If the EU learns the concept of democracy from this, and entertains the idea of loosening its stubborn insistence that things set up in a way that has long been problematic and is now seriously damaging, they might dare to consider some flexibility and the idea of loose coupling. Edit (I forgot my point and finished too soon :) If the EU relaxed a little the departing member state may democratically u-turn.
