If you have more people in your party, and they are all on the same quest, will items drop more than they would solo? Like for collect quests?

I'm not aware of any functionality that will change the drop rate of an item depending on the size of a group. Really though, if there were, it probably wouldn't change the drop rate much. Drop rates are sort of loosely tuned to require a specific amount of time spent on acquiring those items based on the general character level fighting them. With more people you're going to go through them faster and easier meaning more drops, but the amount of extra people competing for those items will generally balance it all out.
It's not going to hold true for every single quest drop, some require a lot of the item, and just drop more infrequently. In those cases though I don't necessarily mind spending a bit more time than I would have soloing as I'm usually enjoying the group I'm in. It depends on the mood I'm in though.
