Hypertonic. Cells in hypertonic solutions shrink because water moves out of the cell (from an area of higher to lower water concentration).

Isotonic solutions have equal concentration to a cell and hypotonic solutions have a lesser concentration than a cell, causing cells to swell as water enters.
