All salts don't gain weight on exposure to atmosphere, some also lose weight and some show no change. There are two terms associated with these phenomena: efflorescence1 and deliquescence.
Some salts absorb moisture from the atmosphere and dissolve in the absorbed moisture. Such substance is called deliquescent and phenomena deliquescence.Due to the extra water(moisture) added to the salt it gains weight.
Common salt is not deliquescent but a small amount of deliquescent calcium and magnesium chloride impurities present in it absorb moisture from atmosphere and turn common salt wet and sticky ( especially during humid conditions)
1. Efflorescence is the phenomena in which crystalline hydrated salts lose their water of crystallization, change to amorphous state and show a decrease in weight.

What is equivalent weight of a salt?
The equivalent weight of a salt is the molecular weight of the salt divided by the number of ions produced when the salt dissolves in water. It is used to calculate the amount of salt needed in a reaction based on the amount of ions present.
What is a deliquescence?
any salt that absorb water or moisture when exposed to atmosphere to turn to a solution
What will happen to glauber's salt when exposed to atmosphere?
Glauber's salt will absorb moisture from the atmosphere and form a solution. Over time, it will dissolve completely into the water and lose its crystalline structure.
