What would happen if an astronaut on a space walk had an empty rubber ballon and filled it with air? Would it just take less air to fill or would it pop with just adding the slightest amount of air?

If you had a balloon that would be fully inflated at 1.5 atmospheres of pressure and pop a 2 on Earth it would be fully inflated at 0.5 atm and pop at 1 in a vacuum.

Some of the decoys on ballistic missiles are pretty much metallic “party balloons” that are the right size to mimic a missile warhead.
