Indeed.

When the US population is 7% higher the country will be 7% more population dense.

As mentioned this is a mathematical certainty.

Since all outcomes have higher average density, anyone who argues against density has some further explaining to do.

The average US population density is 4 people per square kilometer.

Correct. And when we have more of them, the density will increase.

The argument is not about higher or lower density. The answer to that question is higher.

The argument is about where these people will live

The area of the United States is 9.8 million square kilometers. Its population is 347 million. Average population density is 347/9.8 = 35 people per square kilometer.
