The vitreous humor is more likely to ooze out, as there seems to be more of it.
The vitreous humor is a clear gel which occupies the posterior compartment of the eye, located between the crystalline lens and the retina and occupying about 80% of the volume of the eyeball. Light initially entering the eye through the cornea, pupil, and lens, is transmitted through the vitreous to the retina.

The aqueous is the thin, watery fluid that fills the space between the cornea and the iris (anterior chamber). It is continually produced by the ciliary body, the part of the eye that lies just behind the iris. This fluid nourishes the cornea and the lens and gives the front of the eye its form and shape.
