Recall the formula of torque due to current carrying loop is,

$ζ = N i A B \sin θ$ , here $N, i, A & B$ are a number of turns, current in the coil, area of the coil and magnetic field here $θ$ is the angle between area vector and direction of the magnetic field which is $0 °$ (by using right hand thum rule) so torque will be zero.
