pumps in series

This may be a general question. Yet, I want an engineering answer.

The question:

A centifugal pump is required to be connected to a water pipeline (3 inch CS), which is already having a pressure of 3kg/sq.cm(g) in it. The proposed pump is having a capacity of 20 cu.m/hr and 40mLC head.

The pump was not selected for booster applications, but an ordinary pump available as a spare. Now, what will be the discharge pressure and effect on pumping rate if, the 3kg/sq.cm(g) piping is connected to this pump?

Immediate replies are highly appreciated.
