Solution

When carbonated soft drink beverage bottle is sealed with cap, it is pressurized by a mixture of air and $C O_{2}$ . Due to high partial pressure of $C O_{2}$ , the amount of dissolved $C O_{2}$ is very high in soft drinks. After removal of cap, excess $C O_{2}$ escapes and produces effervescence and external pressure decreases. This demonstrates Henry's law.
