The correct answer is that Under the Virginia Plan large states would have more representatives.

The Virginia (or Randolph) Plan was a proposal for a bicameral legislative branch made by Virginia delegates. It had a significant role in setting the overall agenda for debate in the convention and establishing the concept of a population-weighted representation system for the national legislature.
