The growth of the population would most likely cause them to go over the environment's carrying capacity.

Answer:

The population will reach the carrying capacity which in turn would slow down the growth rate of population.

Step-by-step explanation:

Carrying capacity refers to the maximum population size that can be supported by the available resources of a system. Once the population reaches carrying capacity, its growth rate slows down due to negative interactions among organisms for resources. A system cannot support a population size exceeding its carrying capacity.
