Answer:
Spray the aerosol in the direction opposite to space ship. You will get some velocity in the direction opposite to the direction of spraying. So you will move towards the space ship and can reach there. Here, the law of conservation of momentum is used.
According to law of conservation of momentum, the total momentum of a system is always constant in the absence of an external force.
The astronaut can return back to the spaceship by using the principle of conservation of momentum.
To return to spaceship, the aerosol should be sprayed in the direction away from the spaceship so that the astronaut moves towards the spaceship by conserving the momentum.
