When the plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution , it takes up water by osmosis and starts to swell, but the cell wall prevents it from bursting. The plant cell is said to have become "turgid" i.e. swollen and hard. The pressure inside the cell rises until this internal pressure is equal to the pressure outside.
As a result, plant and animal cells both appear more plump when placed in a hypotonic solution

The plant cell will swell up due to high concentration of water in the outer surroundings by the process of osmosis.
