    The number of seats is capped at 435, so at the next census, they will receive a portion of the number of seats, with a min of 1. And from history, when Alaska and Hawaii joined, the cap was momentarily raised to 437 to give each of them 1 seat immediately, which was then lowered again at the next census when seats were partitioned out properly, so I would expect the same to happen here. Based on population, PR should get around 4 seats, and DC 1 seat.
