To fill the balloon with air, is a correct infinitive translation. - Eddy, Oct 6, 2010

Answer 1

Fill the balloon with air sounds like something you would do with a pneumatic pump or compressed air tank.

Blow up the balloon is the term normally used when you fill a party balloon with air from your lungs.

Of course, fill up the balloon with air would be appropriate if you were discussing hot air balloons or a balloon that you did not blow up with your lungs. Inflate the balloon might be more common that fill with air.
