Why does a balloon pops, when squeezed ?

All of us have observed this . When we squeeze a balloon ,( having air inside it ) it pops . Why ?

It is according to " Boyle's Law " .

Boyle's law states that " pressure of the gas is inversly proportional to its volume at constant temperature . "

V1 / V2 = P2 / P1

Where V1 , P1 = initial volume and pressure
V2 , P2 = final volume and pressure

Thus , we can conclude that when we squeeze the balloon ( which is already having air inside it ) the volume of air decreases , it increases the pressure inside balloon and it pops out .
