Osmosis the net movement of water from a solution containing a high percentage of water to a solution containing a low percentage of water.

Because 'pop' contains less percentage water, the movement of water will be less rapid. This is because the 'concentration gradient' (if you don't know what this is then look it up) is not as steep as it would be if you had pure water performing osmosis.
