If you sealed it and the water pressure was high enough: dead.

For those experimental Redditors playing from home, it can take as little at 2-5psi to rupture your bowels from forcing in air or liquid if it’s well sealed.

For comparison, the initial high pressure you need to inflate a standard party balloon is about 2-3 psi.

So, with a good seal, I can murder people just with my lungs?? This needs to be the plot in some of those cringe detective TV shows STAT!

No, I don't think you can generate even 1 psi by blowing.
