Do we need more force to push a body with 100kg mass than of 1kg mass in space(in vacuum)?

What do YOU think, and why?
 
Both body can be moved with similar amount of force regardless of their mass due to no influence of gravity

What about inertia?
 
small object will acquire more velocity while object with mass 100kg will acquire less velocity
