An increase in quantity supplied and quantity demanded.

Explanation:

If population increases in a city with effective rent controls (and nothing else changes) in the market for rental housing there will be an increase in quantity supplied and quantity demanded.

As with the rising population the demand for rental housing increase and with the rent control rent remains same, but the supply of rental housing units increases. Therefore, there will be an increase in the quantity supplied and demanded.
