The bending of the surface of a liquid c...

The bending of the surface of a liquid creates excess pressure (known as the Laplace pressure). Because of this the pressure inside a soap bubble is somewhat higher than the atmospheric pressure. In a drop, too, there is excess pressure. Suppose we have a drop of liquid and a soap bubble of the same liquid and the same diameter. Where is the pressure greater: inside the drop or inside the bubble?
