the object will sink. like if it were a rock dropped in water the density of the rock is greater then the density of the water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Density is defined as mass per unit volume.

Mathematically,
$Density = frac{mass}{volume}$

This shows that density is proportional to mass of the object, that is, more is density more will be the mass of object.

Thus, when an object has a density greater than that of the surrounding liquid then the object will sink into the liquid.
