The only way I can seen this happening is if Guam was a mushroom island, where the substrate was made out of limestone, thusly:

But still that would take hella lot of density on one side to cause it to tip. And becomes moot because, if memory serves, Guam itself is either remnant of a volcano (right near the subduction zone of a couple of plates,) or a protrusion caused by regional subduction.

*shakes head, facepalms* and this guy is from the same era of education where science was still king...

I don't think so. It's in a subduction zone and is comprised of two granitic volcanoes. It's more likely to erupt or sink under a continental plate, but overpopulation will hardly be the cause of that...unless it turns out the citizens of Guam made a pact with the devil, j/k.
