I will take the cell to be animal cell. The hypertonic solution is taken as hypertonic saline solution. The cell will shrink in that case. There will be loss of water to the exterior of the cell. The biochemical cellular functions will be adversely affected. The cell may die if the solution is sufficiently hypertonic.

"hypertonic"
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.
isotonic
A hypertonic solution has a higher solute concentration than the cell the solution is in. (So the cell will shrink when it is in a hypertonic solution, because water will leave the cell in an attempt to balance the ratios of solute to water both inside and outside of the cell.)

The cell will lose water due to osmosis, causing it to shrink or shrivel up. The higher concentration of salt outside the cell compared to inside creates a hypertonic environment, leading to water moving out of the cell to try to balance the concentration inside and outside.
The solution must be hypertonic compared to the interior of the cell, meaning that it has a higher concentration of solutes. This causes water to leave the cell by osmosis, leading to shrinkage.
No, a hypertonic solution is one with a higher solute concentration compared to another solution. When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cell, causing it to shrink or crenate.
