Volume is conserved when the water droplet is divided into 8 smaller droplets.

Let R and r be the radii of the bigger droplet and smaller droplets respectively.

 From volume conservation:



The pressure difference between surfaces is where T is the surface tension and r is the radius of the drop( since there are two surfaces for a water, it is multiplied by an extra factor of 2 )

Pressure difference from droplet of radius R

Pressure difference from droplet of radius r
