The most likely outcome over time, given that individuals with thicker fur survive better in a cold climate, is:

Rabbits with thicker fur will become more common.

This is due to natural selection, where those rabbits with traits that enhance their survival (in this case, thicker fur) are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing those traits on to the next generation.
