Yes it does.
When you blow a bubble you increase the pressure inside of it.
So now we have a sphere with more pressure inside than out. The inside pressure pushes the skin of the bubble outward and stretches it. This is very much like hanging a weight from a rubber band. The rubber band stretches, but only so much. The tension in the band increases the more it is stretched until the tension equals the weight. If you add more weight then the rubber band stretches more.
The same for the bubble, the skin of the bubble stretches (bubble gets bigger) until the tension in the skin matches the pressure in the bubble. A different substance will stretch more or less.
There are complicating factors: pressure decreases inside the bubble as it expands, responses are not linear blah blah blah. But the simple answer is that just like a rope will stretch less than a rubber band, so different bubble substances will expand differently to make different sized bubbles.

Does the size of a bubble affect how long it lasts?
I would imagine the density of the original substance that created the bubble would affect the duration of it rather than the size of the bubble itself. Since the larger the bubble the smaller the density of its 'wall' would suggest the simple answer to your question is yes, because the atmosphere is more likely to break the thin wall.Although if the substance that created the bubble was larger in the first place or more dense than that would be the major contributing factor in its duration rather than the size of the bubble it produces.

Does the size of the particles of solute affect the solubility of the substance?
The size of the particles of solute do not affect the solubility of a substance, which is determined by its chemical composition, but it does affect how quickly it dissolves. The smaller the particles of the solute, the faster it will dissolve.
What 4 things affect how fast a substance dissolve?
The particle size,temperature and agitation affect the rate at which a substance will disolve in a solution.
What effect does the amount of the sample of a substance affect its density?
it has no effect. density of a substance is the same no matter the size or shape of the sample.
