Does soda worsen constipation?

Yes: Anything containing caffeine or alcohol contributes to dehydration and hence constipation.

Can: Sodas that contain caffeine promote diuresis which increased urine output which can lead to total body dehydration. Inadequate fluids in the body is a trigger for constipation. So avoid sodas with caffeine or do not consume them to excess. Socrates said everything in moderation.
