No

Consider the formula: PV=nRT

when one goes up, the other goes down because they are indirectly proportional

240+101.3=341.3kPa absolute pressure.

341.3 * V = constant

expansion = Vfinal / Vinit = 341.3 / 240

It is not enough.

To get a four times expansion, we need both a weakening of the balloon material and an ambient pressure that is lower than atmospheric at sea leve
