Yes, I would merge the snapshot back into the base volume and close the

alternative would be to merge the current snapshot, start a new snapshot,
and the enlarge the filesystem. If anything went wrong during the resizing,
you could just discard the snapshot and be right back where you were with
the filesystem. Merge that snapshot once you've determined that all went
well.
ALERT: I'm thinking of that snapshot backwards, because that's how I most
often use them (create the snapshot, mount the snapshot instead of the base
volume, perform the experiment, then throw the snapshot away and mount the
base volume again to forget the experiment.)
Since I don't know the age or purpose of that snapshot, I don't know whether
you would want to close it. It would be a snapshot of the pre-expansion
filesystem.
