The population continues to grow.
The carrying capacity of a biological species in an environment is the maximum population size of the species that the environment can sustain indefinitely, given the food,habitat, water and other necessities available in the environment. In population biology, carrying capacity is defined as the environment's maximal load,[1]which is different from the concept of population equilibrium.

A population's carrying capacity is the amount of organisms a certain environment can sustain. If the number of organisms exceeds carrying capacity the resources in the environment will be depleted resulting in a carrying capacity drop followed by a drop in the population of organisms.
Carrying capacity is population that is supported by its supporting systems. An example of carrying capacity is wildlife living in the forest. Since the forest can only hold so many different species of wildlife, it has a particular carrying capacity.
The largest population a particular environment can support of particular species is called its carrying capacity.
