You'd be right if the cavity is only compressing other organs inside the body without changing the overall volume, but I don't know why you seem to insist on making that assumption.
I thought it would be clear from my original description, via the analogy with lungs, that the cavity would not squish the internal organs but rather expand the overall volume of the body.
I made that assumption because lungs aren't really inside, they are pretty close to the surface, so they are easy to expand. If they were inside, they would have to push other organs away.
And regarding increasing the overall volume of the body, I addressed that in another comment. Basically, Godzilla would have to visibly swell by a lot, to have that much buoyancy.
It could be that the swelling is only in the underwater part, but then Godzilla would tip over with any slight movement, because the center of mass would be way above water.
"Lungs aren't really inside" is not an argument that I thought I'd be confronted with.
If you find that your lungs are not inside your body then I urge you to seek immediate medical attention.
At this point, you're just trying to ridicule me over my choice of words and not actually trying to interpret them in the context that you yourself set:
Why mention "inside their body" if you didn't mean "deep" inside? All organs are "inside" the body. Therefore, I interpreted your words meaning truly "internal" organs, that that don't manifest themselves on visual inspection, like heart or bladder. Lungs, while technically inside, are peripheral and visibly expand - a critical distinction in this context.
So you specify "inside" and then mock my adherence to that framing, instead of addressing the core biomechanical issues being discussed.
