Due to surface tension, water droplets or let's say any liquid try to form the bubble(Spherical) shape. The difference in pressure between the inside of outside of the bubble depends directly upon Surface tension and inversely on the radius of the bubble. Hence small bubbles exhibit more pressure differential. P1-P2...
