Use of less familiar form vous in imperative “warning”?
This question relates to:French lesson "Using object pronouns le/la/les vs lui/leur in affirmative commands in the imperative mood (L'Impératif) in French"

It depends entirely on the scene you're imagining. The familiar form (laisse-la) used with a stranger adds the element of menacing rudeness to the imperative.
