A cube of side 5 cm is immersed in water and then in saturated salt solution. In which case will it experience a greater buoyant force?

If each side of the cube is reduced to 4 cm and then immersed in water, what will be the effect on the buoyant force experienced by the cube as compared to the first case of water?

I know the answer to the first part that it will experience greater buoyant force in case of saturated salt solution as the density of salt water is more and hence apparent loss of weight is more i.e. buoyant force is more.

Can anybody help with the second part??
