Let's assume you're referring to the [dwarf] planet Pluto.

The aggregate density of that body is 2.03 grams per cm3 , or 2.03 times

the density of water.

Ignoring the practical difficulty of setting a body that large down into one of

earth's oceans, we can say with assurance that even if it could be managed

mechanically, Pluto would not float in water, because its density exceeds that

of water.
