LOL! Sir Isaac is spinning in his grave! Bigger would make it fall slower but
only due to increased wind resistance. But gravity in a vacuum makes no
distinction for size - nor for mass either, for that matter.

In a vacuum, lead and feathers fall equally fast. In the atmosphere,
feathers fall more slowly as they are more affected by wind
resistance unless, of course the lead is sponge lead fluffed up
to have a surface area equal to feathers.
A pound of lead and a pound of feathers both weigh the same.
