The answer is because the results will be more accurate if there is a larger sample size.

No matter what research is, the larger sample size is, the more accurately will be the results and vice versa. The larger samples increase a chance of significance because they reflect the population mean more reliably.

With small sample, the chance for false conclusions is higher.
