If you add more solute in a saturated solution, it will have no effect. Additional solute does not dissolve in a saturated solution.

Explanation:

If more solute is added and it does not dissolve, then the original solution was saturated. If the added solute dissolves, then the original solution was unsaturated. A solution that has been allowed to reach equilibrium but which has extra undissolved solute at the bottom of the container must be saturated.
