1. When balloon is blown, air that is blown inside makes the balloon expand. 

2. A given size of balloon can expand upto certain limit. 

3. Once that limit is reached and air is still blown inside the balloon, balloon cannot expand further. 

4. As a result, air causes additional pressure on inner surface of balloon. 

5. Since, pressure inside balloon is now greater than pressure outside balloon, balloon bursts equalizing the two pressures.
