    About three solar masses.

    Explanation:

    Neutron degeneracy pressure is unable to withstand the force of gravity and the neutron star is crushed out of existence into a black hole beyond three solar masses (approximately).

    Neutron degeneracy pressure prevents further gravitational collapse resulting in the formation of a neutron star.

    A neutron star is a celestial object composed of closely packed neutrons.
