I don't think it's as clear cut as that, and it likely depends upon positions, as well as stacksizes.
When there's more money in the pot (from a large open), so the SPR is lower and the immediate pot odds are worse, there's less of an incentive to call with weak/speculative hands, but there is more of an incentive to 3-bet to try and pick up the dead money and drive out other players. Exactly how these competing forces play out at equilibrium for every position and every stack size is impossible for me to compute.
In some positional battles it
might be the case that hands that would mostly call a 3x should 3-bet vs a 4x, and in others, the opposite might be true. e.g. The SB should possibly 3-bet his entire range vs a large BTN open, but flat with some of those same hands when facing a minraise. No one has a complete GTO solution to 100bb pre-flop, so I don't think we can make blanket statements about what it looks like.
