Just wondering, what's the effect of 1cm increase in the frame size for
an individual?

It's impossible to say without knowing how the 1cm smaller frame fits.
If you're already flirting with too large a frame, obviously going
another 1cm is going to make things worse. Likewise, if you were
working with too small a frame, 1cm might not even be enough.

I am 173cm in height.

If the top of your head ever comes in contact with your bike, you're
doing something wrong. Your bike doesn't give a damn how tall you are.
I think you really need to rethink the metrics you're using to determine
frame size.
