Is my Monarch going to make it?

I recently found a monarch caterpillar on a job site. I collected it and a good portion of the host plant and took it home to my daughter. It devoured the leaves almost entirely after I took it home. A few days later I went back to the job site I was at and learned the host plant had been sprayed with roundup before I collected it. The leaves it had eaten off of it before forming its chrysalis didn’t die from the roundup so maybe I cut them off before they were affected...? It’s been 13 days since it formed its chrysalis. Do you think it will make it, or has it died in its chrysalis?

It will be fine. Just be patient.
It’s most likely died indeed the chrysalis
