well as you have an object that is a bit lighter than the other one i imagine it might fall faster towards the earth but probably about this much faster 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 s

so it can't really be seen directly or properly measured (physics is an incredibly accurate science but come on this is quite impossible imo)

if you enlarged the scale, of course the gravity constant will be changed (you want to let it fall higher but you are getting further away from the mass (earth) and so you get 'lighter') so overall it probably can't be proven.
