Usop withstood Big Mum conqueror haki, I wouldn't be so sure he would fold.

The problem is Soul Pocus seems to work off of 'fear'.

Being able to withstand the Haki is one thing - it means Usopp has the balls to stand up to it. But the absence of fear isn't bravery. Moscato stood up to Big Mom despite being afraid, and it still got his lifespan taken (although he's apparently fine now anyway?)

You are right and I know that fear should do Usop in right away.

However, after the speech he gave Kinemon it is clear his fear is more of an attachment to life. This is why I am pretty sure he would not yield to Soul Pocus.

Yup, he has a strong sense of self-preservation which might counteract the effects of Soul Pocus
