This will be a DM-decision.
If I were the DM, the answer would be no. I would assume that the "holding" property of the Bag Of Holding would have some kind of magical "support" baked into it.
However, this will be a DM by DM decision, so the only answer would be "ask the DM."
If you are the DM, then it's up to you... Just be certain to keep your decision consistent throughout future play.

There's nothing in any official rules or errata, but me personally, assuming you're not doing anything to cause the bowl to spill as you put it in, there shouldn't be anything that causes the bowl to spill once inside. One of the few actual rules is that the stored items are on a separate plane, so no amount of bumping the bag would affect it.

Bag of Holding is one of those things in D&D where it's left intentionally vague about how it works, because it's supposed to make gameplay simpler, help deal with all the pocket searching and carry limits that can bog down late game play. Adding rules to it is somewhat counterproductive.
There's nothing in any official rules or errata, but me personally, assuming you're not doing anything to cause the bowl to spill as you put it in, there shouldn't be anything that causes the bowl to spill once inside. One of the few actual rules is that the stored items are on a separate plane, so no amount of bumping the bag would affect it.
