When plants are placed in hypertonic solutions, their vacuoles shrink and no longer provide enough pressure to keep the plant from wilting. Because of their rigidity, the cell walls keep their rectangular shape but are less plump. In contrast, animal cells lack a cell wall, and so they shrivel up like raisins.

Hypertonic solution means that the concentration in the solution is higher than the cell and water moves fron cell to the solution
If plant cell is kept in hypertonic solution then it will get plasmolysed or shrunken
