The correct answer is:
Enlarge
According to graham's law of rate of diffusion, the rate of diffusion depends on pressure and molecular weight of the gas.
Rate of diffusion partial pressure
So According to graham's law of diffusion the rate of diffusion will be higher than the rate of diffusion of oxygen gas, So hydrogen gas will diffuse with a faster rate inside the balloon than oxygen gas will leave the balloon so balloon will enlarge in size.
