Black holes can increase in mass (and therefore size; the diameter of a black hole's event horizon is directly proportional to its mass) by accretion, or taking in additional matter and/or energy.

Do black holes expand or collapse?

The general tendency is for black holes to grow. If any matter falls into a black hole, its mass will increase, and therefore its Schwarzschild radius (the radius of its event horizon) will increase as well.The general tendency is for black holes to grow.
