In both the under-voltage and over-voltage case, an induction motor will draw excessive current so it is a matter of what fails first. Either the breaker will trip, which usually happens in most cases or the motor will heat up very quickly and trip the thermal limiter or the winding's will melt. In all cases, the motor will either not run at all or run for just a few seconds before failing. But it won't run for minutes and it won't pump water.
