Explanation:

Population size is determined by birth rate, death rate, immigration, and emigration. With little immigration and emigration, the main factors are birth and death rates. A low birth rate means fewer new individuals are added, and a high death rate means more individuals are lost. So, the overall population will decrease.

Answer:

The population decreases.
