the cup without ice would be heavier because water, when freezing and becoming ice, takes a crystalline structure which is less dense than liquid water making the cup with only water, less dense

The one that has ice weighs more.

Cup 1 - Water
Cup 2 - Water + Ice

Cup 2 will naturally weigh more.

Hope it helped!
