Answer:

Less

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight is a force measurement. The object's mass is 5kg not its weight. To find its weight you have to take the mass of an object and multiply it by the acceleration of gravity. The acceleration of gravity is greater on earth than on the moon so therefore the object will weigh less on the moon.
