Both the cells will gain water due to osmosis because the surrounding medium is hypotonic as compared to cell sap. The plant cell is however, surrounded by a cellulosic cell wall which is absent in animal cell. Hence, erythrocyte (animal cell) will burst due to expansion of protoplasm and the expanding protoplasm will exert a pressure on plant cell wall from inside (turgor pressure). The plant cell wall will exert an equal pressure in opposite direction on the protoplasm (wall pressure).
