The excess pressure inside a soap bubble is determined by the formula:

where
is the excess pressure, T is the surface tension of the soap film, and
is the radius of the bubble.
Given that the excess pressure inside bubble A is half that inside bubble B, we have:

This implies:

Now, considering the volumes of the bubbles, the relationship between volume and radius for a sphere is given by:

Thus, the ratio of the volumes of bubbles A and B is:

Therefore, the volume of bubble A is
times the volume of bubble B.
