Catch cold VS catch a cold

Dear TEACHER!
I have come across the two similar expressions below many times,
but I'm not sure about their difference:
1) You'll catch cold if you go out like that. (M.Hewings - Advanced Grammar in Use)
2) You'll catch a cold unless you wear your coat (Jenny Dooley & Virginia Evans- Grammarway № 2)
In reference to the usage of indefinite article what is the difference between them
all things considered (formality, variety etc.. of English)
Many thanks...
