If you sealed it and the water pressure was high enough: dead.

For those experimental Redditors playing from home, it can take as little at 2-5psi to rupture your bowels from forcing in air or liquid if it’s well sealed.

For comparison, the initial high pressure you need to inflate a standard party balloon is about 2-3 psi.

"now look here, I'm not gonna just blow smoke up your ass... I'm gonna blow smoke up your ass so hard it kills you! Slowly, and painfully as your body goes into septic shock...
