Solution
As the pressure inside the bell jar has decreased, the air pressure around it is more. So, in order to balance the pressure differences in its surroundings, The balloon inflates which means pressure inside it increases. Therefore, the pressure inside the balloon increases and inside the bell jar decreases.
