Answer:

The surplus of the goods will rise, meaning that the availability of the such good will increase over time as both the supply and demand curves become more elastic.

Step-by-step explanation:

Due to the presence of the black market, people are going to buy it from the black market at a lower cost, thus the availability will rise and the total surplus will rise due to market equilibrium.
