You need to know a lot more about it before you can answer the question. Potassium chloride, KCl, is a salt. It is very similar to table salt, NaCl, in behavior and properties. If you dissolved a little bit of it in water, you'd have an unsaturated solution. If you dissolved so much of it in water that any more KCl you added would fall to the bottom without dissolving, you'd have a saturated solution. If you then heated it up and dissolved the remaining KCl (because the solubility of KCl in water increases with temperature), and then cooled it back to room temperature, you'd have a supersaturated solution. But without knowing the concentration of the solution, as well as the solubility of KCl in water, you can't answer this question.

Umm, need to have more information.

For example, if a solution of KCl (potassium chloride) is unsaturated, it can dissolve more KCl than it initially has.

A saturated solution of KCl cannot dissolve more KCl under normal conditions.

A supersaturated solution of KCl contains more KCl than a saturated solution. A supersaturated solution can be attained by using a high temperature to prepare the solution, and then slowly cooling the solution.
