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

Explanation:

FB=ρfVfg
Where ρf is the density of the fluid,
Vf 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 ρf and g are usually assumed to be constant, and only change wildly in extreme conditions, Vf is the only term which can change in the above equation.
