What is strong water....
I will base my answer on just "pure" water. The skin will repel the water as it is slightly greasy, it will not absorb any water...;

Probably not much. While some water might move into the tomato by osmosis, the cell walls of the tomato cells wouldn't let the cells rupture.

It would become plump, or swell just a bit.
This is often done at food processor to increase weight, of fruit vegetable and meats.
