Default Would You Really Pop Like a Balloon in a Vacuum?

If a person were suddenly placed in a vacuum, e.g.,
thrown out of a spaceship without a protective/pressure-ized
suit -- a la science fiction movies, would they really pop
like a balloon, or is this an exaggeration? What would really
happen, volumetrically speaking, to the human body?

Thanks
