Best answer

No. Electric flux, or the number of electric field lines, passing through the Gaussian surface is independent of the size of the Gaussian surface and depends on the number of field lines originating from or terminating at the point charge, which in turn depends on the magnitude of the point charge and the permittivity of the medium.
