The cell would die because it is not receiving the nutrients it needs and it can not release the waste in the cell therefore the waste becomes a toxin and it can not eat so it dies. Sorry if this answer is not very suffisticated.

It would die because no oxygen or carbon dioxide would pass through and that is a vital need so it would not live also a cell membrane gets rid of junk in the cell and if it was plastic it would do nothing because it's plastic a non living organism. A cell membrane is like skin for our body, if our body was plastic it wouldn't work same for a cell membrane.

Nutrition and the necessary transfer of oxygen and carbon dioxide would be stopped. Also, waste from the cell would not be able to escape.
Because of this the cell would die.
