What would most likely happen to an onion cell if it were placed in a liquid with a high concentration of solutes?

As the "salt solution" is a hypertonic solution which has the concentration of the solute outside of the cell is higher than the inside's. That also means the concentration of the water is now smaller in the outside of the cell than the inside's, which make the water molecules diffuse from the inside of the cell to the outside, resulted in making the cell (onion cell in this case) shrunken, or smaller.
