I am not quite sure this analytically answers your question...

wouldn't the horizontal surface area be increased with the tilt? This
seems to me that although Pascal's law says the pressure will be exerted
equally throughout a liquid, that if there is more HORIZONTAL surface
area, it would produce greater surface tension and hence more stability.
