This will depend if by bigger you mean having a larger payload, with the same amount of propellant, or it the payload is the same and only the mass of propellant changes. If you have more propellant/rocket fuel then the rocket will have more energy. The equation E=.5mv2 (e=energy, m=mass, and v=velocity) shows that if you have more energy then the velocity will increase. But if there is more mass then the velocity will be less. So the question is tough to answer with no set values as to the mass of the rocket fuel vs the mass of the payload.

However if this is about rockets in space, where the net force acting on the rocket during the trip is effectively zero( no friction in space), then both rockets will go equally far, both will go indefinitely, with one just going faster than the other.

How rocket ship take off?

A rocket ship takes off by igniting its rocket engines, which produce thrust that propels the ship upward. The force generated by the rocket engines pushes the ship off the ground and into the air, overcoming Earth's gravity. As the rocket ascends, its engines continue to provide thrust to propel it further into space.

How many people can go in a rocket ship?

The number of people that can go in a rocket ship depends on the size and design of the rocket. For example, the Space Shuttle could carry up to seven astronauts, while the SpaceX Dragon capsule can carry up to seven as well. Some rockets, like the Falcon Heavy, can carry larger crews due to their size and configuration.
