Disclosed is an acrylic syrup containing a vinyl monomer (A) of methyl methacrylate and a polymerized solid component (B) which is a high polymer of said vinyl monomer and has a weight average molecular weight of from 30,000 to 2,000,000 as measured by the GPC and a viscosity at 25.degree. C. of from 0.1 to 50 Pas, wherein at least part of said polymerized solid component (B) is a grafted rubber obtained by graft-polymerizing said vinyl monomer with a rubbery polymer, and said grafted rubber has a large branching coefficient. The acrylic resin molded articles obtained from the acrylic syrup exhibit excellent impact resistance.
