Ibn al-Mundhir said:
The people of knowledge agree that if a person laughs outside of prayer, then this does not invalidate his purity and he is not required to do Wuduu
al-Nawawi says:
The scholars agree that laughing outside of prayer does not invalidate Wuduu
They also agree that laughing while in prayer, invalidates the prayer.
The correct opinion which has been adopted by the majority of the scholars is that if a person is praying and he laughs out loud then his Wuduu is not broken because their is no daliil that doing so breaks the Wuduu.
al-Nawawi said:
لمذهبنا ومذهب جمهور العلماء أنه لا ينقض ... وهو قول جمهور التابعين فمن بعدهم
Our Madhhab (the Shaafi'i Madhhab) and the Madhhab of the majority of scholars is that (laughing while in prayer) does not invalidate the Wuduu and this is the saying of the majority of the Taabi'uun and those who followed them.
al-Nawawi says:
So, if you laugh out loud while praying, your prayer will be invalidated.
But your Wuduu will not be invalided according to the correct opinion held by the majority of scholars of Islam.

As for the ahadiith which have been narrated in regards to the Wuduu breaking when one laughs then
al-Nawawi says:
All of them are weak by the agreement of the ahl al-Hadiith.
So, if you laugh out loud while praying, your prayer will be invalidated.
But your Wuduu will not be invalided according to the correct opinion held by the majority of scholars of Islam.
