First of all...plant cells are bounded by a cell wall that can withstand the buildup water pressure. For example, lettuce is placed in a distilled water (pure water), they will be firm and crisp because water flows into the cells.
As the water molecules flow into the cell, the plasma membrane begins to press against the cell wall. The bulidup of water pressure inside the cell is called turgor pressure, which causes the cell to become firm or turgid that lets it to be crisp.
