It depends on many things, but if you're going by the equatorial radius as the same size, the balloon should be about 10-15% larger. Note that you can mesure the volume of irregular shapes, thanks to my good friend Archemedes ("Eurika!"). Take a mesuring container large enough to easily hold the balloon and fill it about 2/3 full. Note the volume the water occupies by the water level. Now, immerse the balloon in the water and mesure the volume by the water level again. the difference is the volume of the balloon.
