What if say everyone stopped mining, would bitcoin collapse?

No, bitcoin would not collapse. If nobody is mining, then bitcoin would be in a sort of suspended animation, since no transactions would be processed. But any bitcoins you have would still be yours. Whenever anybody started mining again things would just pick up where they left off.
