Inside the balloon with no water at all, the intense heat from the hot fire will melt the surface of the balloon. The pressure inside the balloon is so big that the balloon deflate and POP! With water, the water conducts the fire away from the balloon so the suface may not reach high tempertures. The balloon is remained inflated.

When a balloon filled with water is held over a flame, the water absorbs the heat, preventing the rubber balloon from reaching its melting point and bursting. The water inside the balloon helps to dissipate the heat and keeps the rubber from getting too hot, thus allowing the balloon to remain intact over the flame.
