The most likely scenario is that the universe continues to accelerate until it reaches the speed of light. Once this happens, it reaches the cosmic speed limit, so yes it will stop accelerating. However, it will change the universe drastically. Galaxies close to each other will merge into super galaxies, and the far ones will eventually travel too far away to be seen. So to us in the mega milky way, it will appear like we are the only galaxy in the universe. This will continue until the rest of the energy burns out and the universe ends in a dark freeze.
