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?

Im not sure if we can just say the balloon has to withstand 1 atmospheric pressure more from the inside than would be the case on earth with the same fill of air.
Im sure there are ballons that wont immediately pop. But only a really small amount of air would be enough to expand the ballon.
