Answer

$c_n$ converges to $e^3$.

Work Step by Step

We have $$ \lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} c_n=\lim _{n\rightarrow \infty} \left(1+\frac{3}{n}\right)^{n} \\ =\lim _{n\rightarrow \infty} \left(1+\frac{1}{n/3}\right)^{n} =\left(\lim _{n/3\rightarrow \infty} \left(1+\frac{1}{n/3}\right)^{n/3}\right)^{3}=e^3. $$ Where we used the fact that $\lim _{m \rightarrow \infty} \left(1+\frac{1}{m}\right)^{m}=e$. So, $c_n$ converges to $e^3$.
