Desdemona asks Emilia whether she would commit adultery to win her husband the world. Emilia, the more practical one, thinks that it is not too big a price for a small act; Desdemona is too good, and too devout, to say that she would do so. It is implied that perhaps Emilia has been unfaithful. No, Iago is still a huge jerk no matter which way you look at him.
