Hi.
If it is indeed a cyst then it should not change, but if by chance it is a stye, then it will cause him a lot of discomfort along with discharge from the eye, itching and so on. Please go abiut hot fomentation over the region several times a day for as long as possible. Make sure he cleans his hands every now and then, avoid touching the eye and also avoid touching the fluid (if any is being secreted). Try to meet a doctor soon.
Best wishes.
