If I connect my PC to a resolution thats considerably larger (such as my 32"), will it make the CPU work more harder, and make it more likely to reach 100%?

It would make the GPU (If you have on in your PC) work harder, but most likely it will be a lower resolution anyway unless it's 1080p.
Its the resolution that matters, not the size of the screen. Also for none-gaming the resolution makes little difference to how much "work" your GPU has to do. However, for gaming, especially in very high resoultions, it has an effect.

In games, the lower the resolution, the more work the CPU has to do.
Not sure why, but it does.

Just tried it, and it was a little slow, i'll try and fiddle with resolutions next time.
Thanks to everyone. :) +Rep

My laptop uses a little more CPU and GPU (and therefore battery) when I run at 1920x1080 (1080p) on a 37" TV than when it runs 1366x768 on its own 15.6" screen.
