Since the sun contains heat, the molecules move faster and that is kinetic energy. As the pressure increases, the temperature also increases. That causes the balloon to expand and it will eventually pop.

Balloons can pop in sunlight due to the heat from the sun causing the air inside to expand beyond the balloon's capacity to hold it. As the air expands, it puts pressure on the balloon's walls, leading to it bursting. Additionally, prolonged exposure to sunlight can also weaken the material of the balloon, making it more vulnerable to popping.
