Answer»

In such a case , the consumer rearranges his consumption combination such that the equality is again restored. He WOULD DECREASES his consumption of commodity X. With this decreases, MARGINAL utility of x rises, As a result the RATIO of marginal utility to price of X rises. The consumer would continue decreasing the consumption of commodity X till the equality between the ratio of marginal utility to price in case of X and Y is again reached.
