ok..well ...hehe i might be wrong...but i think..the cell shrinks..so fluid will come out of the cell...so the surrounding of the cell will be full of fluid and swells.......

thats becoz excess of salt cause make cell to shrink and water comes in the intracellular fluid that cause puffiness..

i think the cell should shrink....

solvent flows from solvent to solution side....this means from cells to outside!!
