Once the film is developed, you'd be able to see on the negatives if there's any discrepancy with the meter.
Very sound and eminently practical advice, please let us know how you get on.
I usually change the setting on my exposure meter to take account of the filter factor; and then forget to reset it when I change the filter of film back.
