I don't know the rules for succession in Indiana, but I'm sure that is a rather important consideration at the moment.

Per Wikipedia, Lt. Gov. Eric Holcomb gets the job. He was considering a Senate run for the Dan Coats seat but backed off earlier this year. He seems to be a garden variety Republican (Indiana variety) as he's served on staff for both Mitch Daniels and Dan Coats. Very much an insider guy, but considered more conservative than Coats and generally supportive of Pence.

As Gov Mike Pence’s place on the ballot will be chosen by the Indiana GOP central committee, I think his stating that he’d remain in office for the remainder of his term was aimed at smoothing the waters for them as they make that choice. Once the choice is made, and on the ballot, he may change his opinion as to if he remains in office for the remainder of his term. But he certainly is not going to resign over the next couple days.
