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

Explanation:

F_B = rho_f * V_f * gFB=ρfVfg
Where rho_fρf is the density of the fluid,
V_fVf is the volume of fluid displaced by the object (or the volume of the object below the surface of the fluid, and
gg is the gravitational acceleration.

Since rho_fρf and gg are usually assumed to be constant, and only change wildly in extreme conditions, V_fVf is the only term which can change in the above equation.
