It would kill him slowly due to the sheer number of souls he has. (Well over two million) Voldemort doesn't have any way to end this instantly, at all. Alucard has multiple.
Mental powers against someone with resistance to mind manipulation?
There's also the fact that Alucard isn't even alive to begin with. Would fiendfyre even lock onto something that has no 'life' to seek out?
@Heilergott
That's not quite as true in this case. Assuming fiendfyre even seeks out anyone in this fight to begin with (see final argument above), it would have over two million targets to choose from if Al went Level 0, and would thus be unreliable as a means of attacking Alucard directly. That said, Level 0 is restricted, so there's no point in even debating that.
Also need to consider what each character's options are, as well as what the two of them do while IC. At most, Voldemort's options for actually killing Al include fiendfyre and...that's it, and he's never once begun a fight by using fiendfyre. Al, on the other hand, can punch through Voldy's defenses with literally any attack he has, and him opening up by shooting someone in the face is most definitely in-character for him. That Voldemort's other non-fiendfyre attacks will simply trigger his regen/resurrection is also important; no prior knowledge means Voldemort probably AKs him once believing that to be enough, then gets surprised once Alucard revives and starts shooting at him again.
