Ur answer is here:
The plasma membrane / cell membrane is a semi- permeable membrane that covers the boundary of a cell.
Osmosis can be defined as flow of water from its higher concentration to lower concentration through a semi permeable membrane.
So if plasma membrane ruptures, Osmosis stops. Moreover, transportation of gases( Oxygen, carbon dioxide), molecules(glucose), water, etc. can't occur.
Infact the cell will die because it will be exposed to external environment.
So, without Plasma membrane which is of same importance as other organelles, cell can’t survive.

Answer:
Plasma membrane is selectively permeable membrane of the cell that maintains its homeostasis. If it ruptures or breakdown the constant internal chemical composition of the cell will be lost and it will not be able to perform its basic functions. Such a cell with ruptured plasma membrane is killed.
