Task

I need help with explaining this task:

We have a set of first order sentences not involving =. Show that if
this set is satisfiable in a finite universe, then it is satisfiable in
an infinite universe.

How can I make universe wider?

    Try adding in an infinite number of "copies" of one of the objects
    already in the domain ….

    Is it possible? I mean, is it OK to add the same objects to the domain?
    Or we can just add them and rename?

    Hint2: Think about adding new objects, but which ones which are copies
    in the sense of indiscriminable by predicates which occur in the given
    set of sentences …
