Answer:

The number of prey organisms will decreases.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is a sudden spike in predators, more of them will want the prey. The prey does not have enough time to reproduce enough to keep balance, so the amount of prey organisms will decrease since there are more predators to eat them.
