This is the result of the chemical reaction between the acetic acid in vinegar and the sodium bicarbonate in baking soda. Sodium bicarbonate contains a sodium ion and a bicarbonate ion. During the reaction, a hydrogen ion breaks off from the acetic acid an attateches itself to the carbonate ion, forming carbonic ac id and leaving behind sodium acetate. The carbonic acid is unstable and spontaneously breaks down into carbon dioxide and water. The carbon dioxide forms bubbles, causing foam to rise up.
