Bottle in a vacuum

Using pressureSucking creates a negative pressure in the straw.

The high air pressure acting on the surface of the liquid pushes the liquid up the straw.

What will happen when air is sucked out of the bottle using a vacuum pump?

What will happen to the pressure inside the bottle?
