The exchange rate would adjust. You should look up purchasing power parity.

Net exports are exports less imports.

If other countries begin to experience inflation while US prices remain stable, then the dollar becomes more attractive to investors as its purchasing power has maintained more so than foreign currencies. The demand for dollars increases, which leads to an appreciation of the home currency. This leads to a decrease in net exports as US goods become pricier relative to foreign goods.

This theoretical relationship between the exchange rate and the relative purchasing power of two currencies is known as *purchasing power parity*.
