When galaxies collide, one of the most significant events that can happen is that **galaxies merge**. While some stars within the galaxies may experience gravitational interactions or be influenced by the merger, it is unlikely that galaxies will completely destroy their stars, disappear, or triple in size in a straightforward manner as a direct result of the collision.

Thus, the correct response is:
**Galaxies merge.**
