Answer:

They all have the same density

Step-by-step explanation:

Density is an intensive physical property, meaning that as long as the chemical formula is the same, that specific intensive physical property will be the same. For example. One kilogram of feathers has the same mass as one kilogram of bricks. Why? They both have a mass of one kilogram.

It's the same thing here. Since all the objects are (assumed to be) made up of 100% gold, they would all have the same density regardless of the mass. For extra points, say the density of each object is
19 (g)/(cm^3).
