As you get further from sea level, the air gets thinner; when you fly in a plane they keep the air inside thicker than the air outside so you can breathe easily, but it's still thinner than on the ground. A chip bag is sealed on the ground, so when it gets up to where the air is thin the pressure inside is still the same as it was down near sea level; that means the chip bag swells as pressure inside stays the same but pressure outside drops.
