The vapor from the boiling water pushed air out of the can. When the can was filled with water vapor, you cooled it suddenly by inverting it in water. ... When the water vapor condensed, the pressure inside the can became much less than the air pressure outside. Then the air outside crushed the can.

When tin filled with hot water some part of tin filled with water but remaining part fill with water vapour. when we pour cold water over the tin the water vapour condense and change into liquid water and a vacuum is created inside the tin the atmospheric pressure apply force on tin due to which tin collapsed.
