"The cricket population would increase"

Explanation:

Without mice as a natural predator, there would be no regulation as to how many crickets live in an area, thus there would be an excessive amount of breeding which can lead to mutations and more sick crickets than healthy ones. The mice pick off the sick/ slower ones so the naturally stronger crickets can pass on their genes to future generations.
