[SOLVED]How to check the size change of specific package?

Hi, today I update the system I got the message:

Packages (10) blueman-2.3.2-1  chromaprint-1.5.1-4  cudnn-8.5.0.96-1  gnupg-2.2.37-1  imagemagick-7.1.0.47-1  kwallet-5.97.0-4  mlt-7.8.0-2  pacman-mirrorlist-20220828-1
              python-trove-classifiers-2022.8.24-1  taglib-1.12-2

Total Download Size:    690.30 MiB
Total Installed Size:  1885.19 MiB
Net Upgrade Size:      -720.12 MiB

:: Proceed with installation? [Y/n]

how can I know which package (or which ones) contribute the most to the '-720.12MiB' reduced size?

Thanks
