The atolls grow bigger but they don't get any higher. The sea does and will eventually flood them.

Like what's happening to the Maldives: https://maldivesfinest.com/maldives-sinking
At half a meter above sea level, even a minor raise in sea level is a threat.

Capital Male' is often seen just mere inches above sea level, roads near IGM Hospital gets partly flooded by salt water gushing out between the road bricks.
