If the plant has enough chloroplast to accept the light intensity, it'll continue to grow strong accordingly. It'll develop stronger leaves, stem, and darker in green color foliages. It'll reach a peak where light saturation occur when the plant no longer can grow any stronger even with higher light intensity. Increasing the light intensity further could hurt the plant.
