What do you mean by big here?

Is it surge of miners? or is it surge of tx because people are using bitcoin more frequently for something like sending money, etc?

If it's just surge of miners, the difficulty will adjust, basically nothing happens just higher difficulty.
Perhaps, the OP was referring to the Bitcoin network's transaction congestion, if so, then it is all about Blockchain Network Congestion, and this can occur on any blockchain network, including Bitcoin and other layer-1 altcoins. The answer is that when this happens, users experience transaction delays, and this is due to the large queues. Therefore, if we want to speed things up, we typically increase the network fee for the transactions.

For reference, maybe OP could read the explanation from anywhere (google, youtube, etc.), and one ifof it, is from here: - What is blockchain network congestion?
