Answer:

Float

Step-by-step explanation:

If the weight of liquid displaced and the weight of an object are the same, the object will float in the liquid.

From Archimedes principle, when an object is immersed in fluid, a force called upthrust supports it and it equal to the weight of the liquid displaced.

When in a liquid, the weight of the liquid displaced is the same as that of the of the object, it will float and not sink.
