I met an experiment on youtube, where a man creates a cloud in a bottle. Do density of such cloud depends on pressure inside the bottle before opening? If yes, how?Here is a link!

In general: Yes, but not necessarily with a nice simple formula. The amount of vapor won't depend on the pressure, but the expansion and corresponding temperature change will.
 
Have you got an idea, how to measure and change cloud density? I need this for my physics experiment

If it is not too thick: Measure the amount of light that passes through?
That is the meaning of my experiment. I will measure the light passing through cloud depending on density of cloud, but I don't know how to measure density
 
Well, it is a density measurement...
If you need a second parameter you could use the length traveled through the cloud. That is easier to control than droplet density.
 
It might be good idea, the only assumption is that density of cloud is the same in all parts
