In my understanding, a pardon removes any possibility of self-incrimination and therefore asserting 5th Am rights becomes unnecessary. However, I don't know for certain whether that means Cohen (or any other person that might be pardoned in the future) would then be compelled to answer questions. I would think it would become a matter that is hugely contested, but a judge could compel Cohen to answer or they could subpoena his testimony under threat of criminal contempt.
Trump can pardon only for federal offenses. Therefore if there are possible violations of state law, a pardon from Trump would not affect that situation in any way. Therefore, use of the Fifth Amendment to avoid self incrimination could still be possible.
