Fun fact: if you wanted to keep an open-air swimming pool on the surface of Mars, you'd have to keep it heated at a temperature exactly between 0°C and 0.5°C (about 32°F). Because the atmospheric pressure on Mars is so low, water would boil if its temperature got any higher.

I'm sure the folks who made The Martian had to figure this one out

Nothing really immediate though... people don’t explode in low pressure, Not enough air for fast heat transfer, so no freeze, and human skin is strong enough to prevent boiling. So nothing would immediately happen, you’d have to keep exposed for 15+min to have real problems

As long as you have a working respirator though obviously..

Well the liquid on your tongue and eye would boil, which would feel odd and fizzy, but mostly its plain suffocation.

Mars lacks and earth like atmosphere. After some minutes, your organs will explode!
