As always, it depends...

If they have stored up stuff, collected all available supplies from
their surroundings and your logistics capabilities are limited, it may
well be the besiegers who starve. Quite a number of sieges had to be
abandoned because of hunger or disease.

Such situations are somewhat pointless to debate in the abstract.
Better to put lead on the table ;-)
Or at least do a campaign game.
