"Should be" VS. "might be"

While I was watching a movie, I heard "You should be alright" and it was used very similarly to "might be" in the context. Now I am wondering which phrase sound less probable. "might be" or "should be".

Thank you a miliion in advance.

Hi, Anonymous "You should be all right". Here, should is used to indicate what is expected to happen. In this sense, sometimes should and ought to are used interchangeably.
