If you want to save the plant, rinse it then use a mix of distilled water and insecticidal soap and Neem oil. Spray both sides of all leaves and stems thoroughly, and also spray the top of the soil. Separate it from any other plants, ideally a separate room. Spray it with the mix every 3 days for 2-3 weeks, and check to ensure you don't see more bugs before returning it to its normal home.
