What does the prefix in mean as words incredible or insoluble?

The prefix "in-" in words like "incredible" and "insoluble" means "not" or "the opposite of".

* Incredible: Not credible, unbelievable

* Insoluble: Not soluble, unable to dissolve

So, "in-" in these words negates the meaning of the root word.
