The cells get plasmolysed.
Explanation:
Plasmolysis occurs if the concentration of the outer fluid is more than that of the cytoplasm. In this process the cell fluid comes out of the cells so as to make the concentrations equal.
In this hypertonic solution, cells do not experience the (minimum) external osmotic pressure.
