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.
