What would happen to a sealed tin can in space?

Would it explode? Is the metal strong enough to resist the pressure differential? Does it depend on the temperature? What if it were filled with water vs air at 1 atmosphere pressure?

It depends on the can and how pressurized it is. The ISS is kept at about 1 atmosphere (sea level), and it holds pressure just fine. Soda cans regularly hold nearly 3 times that pressure, and probably wouldn't explode in a vacuum. If there is a manufacturing defect or the material inside is heated up it could blow out the weakest point in the structure. You can find videos of soda cans in vacuum chambers if you'd like.
