When the pressure inside the balloon is greater than the pressure outside, the balloon will contract to decrease its volume, which in turn reduces the internal pressure until it matches the external pressure.

Can someone please help me understand this because I think I’m confused because wouldn't the balloon contracting only increase its internal pressure even more since pressure increases in tight spaces?

If the pressure inside the balloon is lower than the pressure outside, the balloon will expand to increase its volume, causing the internal pressure to rise until it equals the external pressure.

Wouldn't the balloon expanding only decrease pressure though because there is now more room for the air particles to move, decreasing pressure?

I am honestly having a lot of trouble understanding this
