The buoyant force increases if the object in questions displaces more fluid.

Explanation:

#F_B = rho_f * V_f * g#
Where #rho_f# is the density of the fluid,
#V_f# is the volume of fluid displaced by the object (or the volume of the object below the surface of the fluid, and
#g# is the gravitational acceleration.

Since #rho_f# and #g# are usually assumed to be constant, and only change wildly in extreme conditions, #V_f# is the only term which can change in the above equation.
