He would have observed that the egg shrinks. Because the amount of water molecules inside the egg is more than the surrounding medium. so water molecules go out  of the egg by the process of osmosis

the water inside the egg will come out this is the process of osmosis
osmosis is the process of transportation of water from higher concentration to lower
this is the example of hypotonic solution
