Solution

It won't make any difference because:
a) If there is a raw egg which has shell, then water can neither enter nor leave the egg due to presence of the non-permeable hard shell.
b) If the egg is boiled and deshelled; still it won't make a difference because the egg is cooked and then it's contents have turned to solid.
