The Loihi Island/Volcano is estimated to grow about 1 metre every ten years.
So it is expected to break the surface of the ocean in about 9000 years.

When will mont kilauea stop erupting?
It will probably not stop for many centuries. At this time, Loihi seamount, and undersea volcano on the bottom of Mauna Loa, is spewing lava and is growing. It will become the next Hawaiian Island, and eventually create a large addition to the Big Island. Assuming that this process will not stop, Loihi will continue to spew and erupt, as other volcanoes like Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, and Kilauea eventually grow even more dormant. Although there is a chance of another active volcano on Maui, these volcanoes will become extinct, like Diamond Head near Honolulu, on Oahu. Loihi will be the new Kilauea.

A new Hawaiian island, Loihi, will break the surface in roughly 18,000 years. Assuming that the USA and it's states are still intact at this time, Loihi will be a new island of the state of Hawaii.
Is Loihi volcano explosive or non explosive?
Loihi is generally not explosive as it produces basaltic lava. Since the vent is still under water it mainly produces pillow basalts. As the growing seamount reaches the ocean surface the potential will arise for occasional phreatic eruptions, which can be explosive.
