There are two ways, you can tell visually by seeing if there is any sign of wrinkles on the shell, and if you cant tell visually, then just lightly poke the shell. If it gives way a little bit, you know it has a soft shell.

How would taking in water or air before a new exoskeleton hardens help an arthropod?
Arthropod means "jointed legs," because arthropods are covered with a hard skin ("crab shells" are the hard skin of crabs) and they move by flexing joints along their hard skin. When they grow, they have to grow inside their hard skin. But, if the skin is too tight, there's no space! By taking in air or water when their shell is still soft, arthropods can "pump up" and make a nice roomy shell to grow in. When they fill that shell up, they crawl out of it, and then pump up the soft skin underneath. The pumped up soft skin hardens into hard skin, and the arthropod is ready to keep growing.
