Probably around 90. The Boston Pops is the Boston Symphony Orchestra minus the first chair players in every section, who have separate contracts. The actual number varies according to what works are being performed. Composers will usually call out the instruments needed, and how many of each instrument, in a particular work. In the woodwinds, brass and percussion, this can be critical. In the strings, one or two one way or the other makes no difference with an orchestra of that caliber.
