Q

why a per unit tax would increase the proportion to larger bottle to smaller bottle sold

A

when the price of a good increases, the quantity demanded of the good decreases, vice versa, ceteris paribus.

(Here the unit of measurement to which the tax applies is bottle rather than volume of soft drinks. When the same amount of tax is added to each bottle then per volume of liquid contained in larger bottle soft drinks would become cheaper than the small bottle ones.)

The relative price of larger bottle soft drinks in terms of small bottles one thus drop. The law of demand then implies that people would buy more larger bottle soft drinks relative to small bottles ones so the proportion of large bottle soft drinks sold in the market would increase
