Usually the balloon will burst.
It may burst.
Generally, it will pop. But it also depends on what you prick it with. A sharpened pencil for example will undoubtedly pop it, no problems there. But an UNsharpened pencil may take a bit more work to pop a balloon, as it does not have a sharp edge.
You may hear a bang and the balloon shreds itself. Alternatively, depending upon the properties of the rubber, the balloon may become airborne with the knot leading the way. But if you place a piece of cellulose tape on the balloon, you may puncture it through that without the bang!
The pressure inside the balloon is much higher than ambient air pressure and the transition is sudden, when the rubber breaks. This causes a shock wave to travel outwards compressing the surrounding air and making a single crack! The change is approximately adiabatic. A2 The popping sound is made partly by the tearing of the latex, and partly by the rapid deflation. If you place a strip of cellulose tape on the inflated balloon, and prick it through the tape, the balloon will deflate gradually.

The balloon pops and the water falls out and splashes onto the floor.
Because of the small area of the needle and the force that is exerted on the balloon. The pressure inside the balloon that was previously more, finally can diffuse into the room. Since the air canot all escape from the needle prick it bursts to equal the pressure.

Normally, When you prick a balloon with a needle the hole the pin makes creates a weak point that continues to tear as the pressure inside the balloon attempts to escape. ( I.E. To equalise the pressure inside and outside the balloon ) That is the balloon bursting... The piece of Scotch Tape, however, holds the area around the pinhole together stopping this tearing and preventing the balloon bursting.

Prick is essentially a slang word for penis if you are using it in a simi-offensive way. Now, there are some perfectly innocent ways to use prick, such as a pricking your finger to get bloodwork done. But in slang prick = penis.
