Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of the smaller bubble, r1 will decrease and that of the bigger bubble, r2 will increase.

The pressure that is present in the smaller bubble usually is greater than the pressure that exists inside that of the bigger bubble. This then makes air to flow from r1 to r2 thereby making the radius of the smaller bubble r1, to decrease while keeping that of the bigger bubble r2 higher.
