I think it would depend upon whether the Orc knew what he had. If he recognized it as the Ruling Ring, and especially if other Orcs were aware of it, it would have a much greater chance of being brought to Sauron.

A lone Orc finding it, like Grishnákh for example, might keep it long enough to it to start working on him, leading to an eventual claim. And that, of course, would be the same as taking the Ring to Sauron: he would end up with it regardless.
