By starvation of course, but also by disease due to weakened population.
Some sort of limiting factor will cause the population to fall again

The population levels off at the carrying capacity.

starvation increases to the point where this population is maintained.
Ideally a population at its carrying capacity is stable, there is enough for all to survive. The system is usually slightly underdamped and the population will vary between just over its carrying capacity where some individuals suffer and under its capacity where there is a surplus. If the system is severely under damped there are extreme swings in the population. A typical example is the relation between Arctic hares and foxes.
