A condom is a barrier method that prevents semen from entering the body, whether in the vagina or rectum. Semen is a bodily fluid that carries with it the potential for making a baby or passing on a sexually transmitted infection.
When pregnancy is a possibility (meaning a guy and girl having vaginal sex), there are a couple of options. Depending on where you live, access to the morning after pill (officially called 'emergency contraception') might be a possibility. This is effective in helping to prevent pregnancy up to 72 hours after sex, though the sooner it is taken the better. This is not the only option, but it's the simplest.
As regards STIs/STDs, it's advisible for a screening of sexual health to happen. You'll need to be honest about when the condom broke, as most problems would not show up on a test instantly. They may recommend that you test in three month's time after the first test, etc. To avoid the stress and worries of this, it's a great idea for both partners to get a completely clean bill of health before having sex - even if they plan to use condoms.
If you need more detailed info, please let me know. I wish you the best.

Short answer, you risk pregnancy and STDs.
This is why if you're having sex, you should also try birth control.
