Will this shirt shrink?

[Zysoclaplem]

I bought an American Eagle XS polo shirt today. I don't try on shirts in the store, just pants, so when I get home and try it on, it's wayyyy too big. It's about the size of a medium shirt.
It's 100% cotton, and does not say pre-shrunk anywhere on the shirt.
If I wash this, should it shrink? Because otherwise it's tagged incorrectly.
Thanks!

wash warm, dry high heat for 15 minutes or so, see what it looks like.

edit: save tags in case it does shrink too much

yes it will shrink

i purchased 2x waffel shirts from the Gap XXl and they shrunk so much i dont think ill be able to wear them now
even in a cold/cold wash and low dry

I'm pretty sure their shirts don't shrink down 2+ sizes. I might suggest returning it before washing it, because if you wash it, they probably won't let your return it.

Well I want it to shrink, but I dont think I can return it once I wash it. Can I?

What temperature does the tag say to wash/dry it? If it says cold water, cool dryer, then it's probably gonna shrink in hot water/hot dryer.
