Did you reset the breaker? Turn it OFF and then back ON to reset. If
it pops again, unplug everthing on that circuit and put them back in one
at a time.

I would swap two identical breakers. If the problem swaps, then the
breaker is bad.

If the problem goes away, then the breaker may have had corroded
contacts. I had that happen in an old apartment.
