I don't know what would be the specific applicable charge, but... yes, of course. Outing an undercover agent, risking her life, would be, I expect, a rather serious crime.

Btw, here is an interesting Stratfor article about Felt:

Felt didn't go to a grand jury not because he was boxed
in, but because he could not reveal the means whereby he knew precisely what
Nixon and his henchmen were up to. It is fascinating that in all the
discussion of Felt as Deep Throat, so little attention has been paid to how
Felt would have acquired -- and continued to acquire -- such precise
intelligence. It has been pointed out that Felt could not have been the only
Deep Throat because he could not personally have known all the things he
revealed. That is true, unless we assume that Felt was the beneficiary of an
intelligence operation run by Hoover for years deep into successive White
Houses. If that is the case, then it makes perfect sense that Felt was the
one and only Deep Throat.
