Hypotonic means that the concentration gradient is lower than what ever your comparing it to (in this case a red blood cell) since the net movement of solute goes from high to low concentration gradient solutes will move out of the red blood cell causing water to go into the cell. This will cause the cell to swell up and eventually Lyse.

They will swell and then eventually burst due to the influx of water. Water will move from the area of lower solute concentration (outside the cell) into the area of higher solute concentration (inside the cell).

A red blood cell in a hypotonic solution will lyse as water from the outside flows in.

When placed in a hypotonic solution what will happen to the cell?

If cells are placed in a hypotonic solution the cells gain water. The hypotonic solution has lower solute concentration then the cell's cytoplasm so the water will enter via osmosis.
