Suppose CH holds and $\mathbb{P}$ is a poset of size $\omega_1$, such that forcing with $\mathbb{P}$ preserves $\omega_1$. Does forcing with $\mathbb{P}$ preserve CH? If $\mathbb{P}$ is proper then the answer is yes, see this question.this question. Is this true for improper $\omega_1$-preserving posets of size $\omega_1$?

Does small forcing preserve CH?
