You must consult a doctor to treat involuntary urination caused by laughter. The ruling concerning prayer is that it is obligatory to perform (washing the private parts), wudu (ablution), and wash whatever parts of the body or clothing were affected by the urine, or to change into a clean garment before praying, because purity is one of the conditions for the validity of prayer.
