Litecoin will do what it needs to do in order to scale when the time comes, and I can guarantee you that it will be much smoother than what is going on with Bitcoin right now.
Do you think it would be any different if Litecoin was in Bitcoin's position? It's very easy for things to go smoothly if there's no pressure.
I guess you would have to define "pressure". A lot of the pressure, publicly at least, has been artificially created. With that said there potentially could be a need to do something now, but like politics there seems to be extremes in the debate. Personally I support Jeff's BIP100 solution with the expectation that it gives a little more time to research and discuss for more permanent solutions.
Pressure = same usage than Bitcoin, same stress tests, same govs banning it, etc.
I wonder what would happen with LTC if they stress test it(don't forget to include it in your future paper)
