The short answer is that there will be an increase in rainfall.

More rain could be good or bad for the rainforests depending just how much more rain there is. Too much rain can wash away the soil leading to erosion and landslips but in some places an increase could be beneficial as the trees need water to grow.

The water cycle is a natural cycle and it operates within limits. There is only so much water than can be held in the water cycle and when the limit is reached the excess water vapour forms into droplets of water which ultimately falls as precipitation or is deposited on surfaces as dew. By adding more water to the water cycle we'd speed up the process and the result would be increased precipitation.

There is an increasing amount of water being added to the water cycle but compared to the total volume of water in the cycle it's a very small amount and the subsequent increase in precipitation is also very small.
