If $0 \le \mu(A) < p < 1$, when is it true that there exists always a measurable $B \supseteq A$ such that $\mu(B)=p$?

Let $(X,\mu)$ be a probability measure space and $A$ be a measurable subset of $X$ such that $0 \le \mu(A) < p < 1$.

Question

When is it true that there exists a measurable $B \subseteq X$ such that $A \subset B$ and $\mu(B)=p$ ?
