Revise his thinking/understanding of the process and get more evidence to develop a new hypothesis.
Explanation:
His first hypothesis provided an answer to a specific question. It was not what he expected, but it is still new and valuable information.
The purpose of the scientific method is NOT to prove a point of view, but to provide enough valid evidence to make realistic decisions about the workings of the physical universe.
