The House of Representatives because "the house" based its number of representatives on the population not just every state gets this amount of representatives
The House of Representatives is favored by larger states because the number of representatives in the House for each state is decided by the states' population. This means that larger states have more representatives. Therefore, they will have more votes and a bigger influence.
The US Senate, to which each state elects two senators, is the house that favors states with smaller population. Under the New Jersey plan, all states would have had one vote each in a unicameral legislature.

You may perhaps be thinking of the Connecticut Compromise... though actually that did allow the larger and more populous states (which were, with the exception of New York and Pennsylvania, in the south at the time) to have considerable influence over the House of Representatives.
The two parts of the US Congress are the Senate and the House of Representatives. Each state is allowed two senators regardless of its population. In the House of Representatives, the number of seats a state has depends on the size of its population. Therefore, the size of the Hpuse's membership increases as the US population increases.
The Great Compromise established a two-house legislature to balance the interests of both populous and less populous states in the newly formed United States. It created a bicameral Congress, consisting of the House of Representatives, where representation is based on population, and the Senate, where each state has equal representation with two senators. This compromise addressed the concerns of larger states wanting representation based on population while ensuring smaller states had a voice in the legislative process. Ultimately, it aimed to foster cooperation and unity among diverse states.
The Connecticut Plan, also known as the Great Compromise, reconciled the differences between the Virginia Plan, which favored larger states with representation based on population, and the New Jersey Plan, which aimed to ensure equal representation for smaller states. It established a bicameral legislature, with the House of Representatives based on population and the Senate providing equal representation for each state. This compromise formed the foundation of the U.S. Congress and continues to be used today, balancing the interests of both populous and less populous states in legislative representation.
The Senate and the House Of Representatives. There are two Senators for every state; Representatives are in proportion to population, so more populous states have more Representatives, less populous states fewer. Senators serve for six years, Representatives for two.
The Great Compromise of 1787 resolved state representation for Congress. The delegates first believed that Congress should be unicameral with representatives from each state, but they argued over how many representatives each state should have. Delegates from larger, more populous states favored the Virginia Plan. According to this plan, each state would have a certain number of delegates based on the population of the state. Delegates from smaller, less populous states favored the New Jersey Plan. According to this plan, each state would have the same number of delegates in Congress and equal representation in Congress. Roger Sherman from Connecticut proposed a compromise known today as The Great Compromise. He suggested that Congress consist of two chambers: House of Representatives and Senate. Each state would have the same number of representatives in the Senate. More populous states would have more representatives in the House (one representative for every 30,000 people in the state). Sherman's plan was fair to all states, so delegates from both small and large states agreed to it.

In the United States, each state is represented equally in the Senate, with two senators per state, regardless of the state's population. This structure was established by the U.S. Constitution to ensure that smaller states have the same level of representation as larger states. However, representation in the House of Representatives is based on population, leading to a disparity in representation across states. This system aims to balance the influence of populous states with that of less populous ones in the federal government.
