What happens when a fly ball hit to the first baseman is dropped with a runner on first base?
Nothing in your situation. Only maybe if there is less than two outs and at least another runner on second. If there is less than two outs, the infield fly rule applies. The runner should stay on first base. The batsman would be out anyway. That is the purpose of the infield fly rule. It was put in when Ty Cobb had a similar situation. He was playing short stop. There were runners on first and second. A batter hit a pop up toward him. He yelled, "I got it." The runners stayed on first and second. He dropped the ball. Tagged the runner on second. Stepped on the base, and threw the ball to first for a triple play. Then baseball put in the infield fly rule. If there is a popup in the infield with zero or 1 outs, and runners on base that would be forced out, the batter is out and the runner should not advance.

What is an infield fly and how is it different from a regular fly ball in baseball?
An infield fly is a rule in baseball where a batter hits a pop-up in the infield with runners on first and second base or with the bases loaded and less than two outs. The key difference from a regular fly ball is that an infield fly is called to prevent the defense from intentionally dropping the ball to turn a double play.
Why is there no infield fly rule when there is a runner on first base?
The infield fly rule is not in effect when there is a runner on first base because the purpose of the rule is to prevent the defense from intentionally dropping a pop-up to get a double play. With a runner on first, there is no opportunity for a double play, so the rule is not needed.
Does the infield fly rule apply to a bunted ball?
No, as long as it is a fair ball. Once the umpire signals the infield fly rule the batter is automatically out. However, if the ball is dropped and is ruled a foul ball, the umpire reverses his call and the batter continues his turn at bat. Nevertheless, the batter can not reach first from that batted ball. You will often find an umpire state "Infield fly, Batter is out if Fair". When the rule is in effect, the batter may not get on first base.
