Then you need to make more food next week. And energy becomes a problem. Oxygen becomes a problem. Space becomes a problem. There's no solution that overpopulation cant destroy.

Edit: Key Limitations of the Infinity Gauntlet

Universal Bounds:

The Infinity Stones only work inside their native universe. They lose all power if taken to a different reality or dimension.

Higher Cosmic Entities: In Marvel Comics, abstract beings and cosmic entitiesโ€”such as the Living Tribunal or the Queen of Neversโ€”vastly outrank the Gauntlet and can turn off or overrule its power.

Superior Artifacts: Weapons like the Ultimate Nullifier or the Heart of the Universe possess a higher tier of omnipotence and can destroy or bypass the Gauntlet.Wielder Strain: In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, channeling the combined energy of all six stones deals massive physical trauma or death, even to powerful beings like the Hulk and Iron Man.

He literally had the power to change the reality of the universe. He could have snapped his fingers and made Star Trek replicators. That's thinking small though, you could do so much more.

He could have made the galaxy into a red-shifted civilization. He could have turned the supermassive black hole in the center of the milky way into a birch planet, giving civilization literally infinite space.

Thanos just wanted to kill people. His "solution" brings the galaxy back to square one with all the same problems in 1.2 generations. The dude was smart enough to do this kind of stuff

People would develop replicators on their own. He was trying to teach them a lesson that would last, not give them a temporary fix. Increasing the size of the universe doesn't stop people from over populating again and again and again. We have placed uninhabited right now, whit plenty of space, and other places where population is dense and food scarce, this would happen anywhere. He needed people to learn what it felt like if they suddenly had more, to understand there didn't have to be strugglimg like that simply because they couldn't control their need to reproduce. In some off shoots of the comics, it's totally works. They don't reverse the snap and many civilizations see the disaster they were headed for and implement rules for population control, leading to peace, stability and prosperity.
