It's fairly easy to do, although best doing it on copy images. This saves trashing any edits you may already have applied and want to keep.
1. First select a batch of images and create a Virtual Copy for each.
2. Reset each of the Virtual Copies to remove any existing edits.
3. Observe that there are no white dots under the adjustment tool icons (see first screenshot below)
4. Observe that the 'eyeball' at top left of each adjustment panel is grey rather than white (see second screenshot below

5. Apply a preset to any of the Virtual Copies and note which adjustment tool icons has a white dot under and which of the 'eyeballs' are now white. These indicate where you should look to see what the Preset did.
Repeat 2-5 above until you're satisfied that you've checked the presets you interested in.
Do you know isf there is a way to know the setting value associated to each LrC preset?
Unfortunately LrC doens't provide a way to see the Settings of each preset (It has been requested over and over btw)
@Ian Lyons has suggested you the classic method.
You can also use this Plug-in: Preset Viewer
I honestly don't like that Plug-in it at all but maybe you will like it...I also find it's best to apply the preset and then read the settings in develop as Ian suggested.
When I need to read the settings of each presets I use another method: I read the Preset/XMP itself (and I even edit the presets directly there)
Right Click on Preset > Show in Fider/Explorer > open the XMP with a text editor.
You will be presented with this:
I know is perhaps more intimidating and complex at first glance BUT it is the fastest and most efficient way to edit and read presets.

And here is an interesting Plugin that will create multiple Virtual Copies of an image, applying all the Develop Presets that exist in a Preset Group.
It is very useful for obtaining a fast visual comparison of the Presets in a Group. The Virtual Copies can easily be [Removed] after viewing.
This example is the result of 'Excessor' run on the Adaptive Sky Preset group of 6 presets-
