Hi Andrew,
I don’t think single molecules change their size under pressure (or at least not substantially with the pressure differences discussed here), but the effect you see is that gases change their volume depending on pressure. The lower the pressure, the larger the volume, hence the larger the bubbles.
Hope this helps!

Do the bubbles get larger due to an increase in the volume gas itself, or because the gas is being released so much more that the gas is collecting for each bubble? What happens to a single molecule of oxygen (O2) under pressure. Assuming it is not dissolved in the water. Would this also increase in volume.

Im working a concept and need to understand what’s happening.
