Solution

No, the same shadow will be formed on the screen in both the cases. This is because the formation of a shadow depends on the size and shape of the opaque object.
As the light is obstructed by the same shape(circular part of bowl) in both the cases, the same circle shaped shadow will be formed in both the cases.
