A previous answer on how popcorn pops mentioned typical atmospheric 
pressure? Will popcorn pop in a vacuum? Due to the reduced air pressure, 
do you think the popped kernels would be smaller or larger if they pop? I 
also found a question on the effects of air pressure and temperature but 
the answer focused more on temperature.
