Presumably, with no nutrition, die. However, the proto-alien might be able to reproduce by itself (as the original alien in ALIEN started doing, even without a queen), leaving behind eggs/canisters/whatever to trap any potential follow-up rescue mission.
Depends, how long can it live off any nutrients left on the two crashed ships and any other ships the Engineers left (assuming it hasn't perished) as well as how well it can hibernate... given how little attention was paid to details in the film, I can't see it being a problem.
