Would not/could not/cannot.
A little line I need checked out. I'll not write the full line here, but this should be enough:
"A wall [insert would not/could not/cannot] withstand the weight of our..."
This is for something that hasn't yet happened, but definitely will. And this wall absolutely will not stand against this weight (but I didn't want to use "will not," didn't like how it sounded in the full sentence).
Please give a short explanation to your answer. Thanks.

will not is my choice. It's simple and direct. I could comment better if I knew the rest of the sentence.
