Answer and Explanation:

When a cell is freezed, it cytoplasm-which is mostly water- is frozen and its volume expands. In consequence, pressure inside the cell increases and that causes damage to the outer wall.

The same occur in an unopened softdrink when it freezes. The volume inside the container increases and the pressure increases. If this volume increment is not considered before freezing the liquid, it could cause the container damage or breaking.
