It will probably burst.
A hypo-tonic solution means that there is less dissolved solute in the solution than there is in the cell, and a greater concentration of the solution (ie water).
Since there's a greater concentration of water outside the cell, osmosis will cause a net movement of water into the cell, causing it to swell and most-likely burst.

What can happen to animal cell when placed in a hypotonic solution?

A hypotonic solution is one which is more dilute (less concentrated) than another, in this case the inside of the cell (the cytoplasm). An animal cell in a hypotonic solution will absorb water by osmosis and will swell up. If nothing is done to remove the extra water the cell will eventually burst! See: http://www.phschool.com/science/biology_place/labbench/lab1/watpot.html for a simple animation and good background information on osmosis.

What solution is the control of the cell during osmosis?

The cell controls osmosis by regulating the movement of water through the cell membrane. This is done by osmoregulation, which involves adjusting the concentration of solutes inside the cell to maintain a balance with the external environment. In this way, the cell can prevent excessive water loss or gain and maintain proper cell function.
