Hi, John -
The previous post is correct - the car stops. The real question is why did it break?
If it broke from age, you probably won't have much trouble except for the inconvenience of having the car towed, as the engine is a "non-interference" type, i.e. there is enough clearance so that the pistons do not hit the valves. (As an aside, my mother had a belt on her Hoda Civic break - and that engine was NOT a non-interference type. Ended up scrapping the car as the cost to repair was too much)
Now if the belt broke because the water pump froze or other such happening, then you have a little bigger problem. Still not insurmountable.
