Answer:

Water will exit the cell!

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the solution is HYPOtonic, meaning the outside of the solution has a lower concentration of molecules (be it water, sugar, etc), the water within in the cell will leave in order to even out of the concentrations within and outside the cell.
