The RBC's will swell (crenate)

Explanation:

If a cell is placed in a solution of 0.9% NaCl, it will neither shink nor swell because the water conc. equals the solute conc. Such a solution is known as isotonic

If the cell is placed in a solution having less than 0.9% NaCl, the cell will swell because the conc. of solutes is greater inside the cell.Such a solution is known as hypotonic solution

If the cell is placed in a solution having greater than 0.9% NaCl, water will flow out of the cell due to the increased conc, of solutes outside the cell causing the cell to shrink. such a solution is known as hypertonic solution
