Neither. Since you already leveled up to the "bonus levels stage", now your XP bar will be pink until next level comes.

When the new level hits, you will be leveled up automatically to that level, your xp bar will be cyan again and you'll have the same proportion of your XP bar filled as you had before leveling up.

Since the total xp needed for that new level will be less than the one required for the bonus levels, you'll have, in amount of points, less than you had when you leveled up.

Example.
 * Let's say you're working towards a bonus level that requires 5,000,000 XP. You currently have 3,000,000 XP.
 * A new level hits. the required amount of XP for the level up is 1,000,000.
 * You'll now have the new bar filled to the same proportion you had the previous, therefore you'll have now 600,000 XP towards the goal in this new level.

That will be up to you; personally I don't recommend using it unless you had millions, and using those millions to force more bonus levels, and thus "exchanging" your cash for donuts (called XP farming). Without that I don't think the cost is worth it. While you can get some level ups from this, you're also pushing the goal farther for the next bonus, and you need at least 2 level ups in order to cover the cost of the collider. For the record, this are the totals needed for each of the bonus of this level, once at 10 million, further ones will remain the same.
