Osmosis. The amount of salt will go from the place with the most to the place with the least until they're both equal

Answer:

Osmosis will take place.

Step-by-step explanation:

Osmosis refers to the movement of water trough a semipermeable membrane in response to a concentration gradient. In this case, there is a bigger amount of salt outside the cell, so water inside cell vacuole will go outside, to diminish salt concentration.
