They will merge to create one larger galaxy.
Andromeda and the Milky Way are on a collision course and will interact gravitationally over billions of years, eventually coalescing into a single galaxy (often called "Milkomeda"). Individual stars are unlikely to collide; the merger mainly rearranges orbits and can trigger bursts of star formation.
