We have no way of knowing the answer. Will the universe ever end at all? Again, we don't know.

Right now, we suspect that the universe may expand forever; we cannot "see" enough mass to cause the expansion to slow down. But then, we can't see enough mass to keep the Milky Way together; it is spinning entirely too quickly for the mass that we know about to generate enough gravity.

Some scientists have postulated some form of "dark matter", and perhaps even a corollary "dark energy" to account for the mass we cannot see. If there is enough (and if it exists at all!) then the universe may, perhaps, slow its expansion and collapse into itself, at some unimaginably distant date in the future.

But we're guessing, and scientists try not to guess. Much.

Why is the mass of the universe important in predicting the future universe?

If there is not sufficient matter in the Universe, eventually, entropy will take over and the Universe will continually expand and cool until there is no possibility of life. If there is enough mass, the Universe will eventually begin to contract on itself, leading to a Big Crunch, from which the cycle my begin again.
