Answer:

less

Step-by-step explanation:

Water is more dense than air, water is a liquid, air is a gas (technically a mix of different gases). Liquids are more dense than gases so they have more particles to absorb heat.

Water has a specific heat of 4.186 J/g°C.

Air has a specific heat of 1.012 J/g°C.

Specific heat is the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one Celsius degree. Water has a higher specific heat and can hold more heat than air.
