More water and oxygen is produced.

Explanation:

In an experiment which consist of mixing H2O2 with yeast the following reaction occurs:

2 H2O2 - > 2 H2O + 02

Yeast acts as a catalyst, i. e. makes the reaction faster.

The bigger amount of H2O2 you add, the bigger amount of water and oxygen you produce.
