Nothing, the cube will take up the same space of volume as before it melted.

your question has two aspects. first, was the glass filled to the brim before putting in the ice-cube. in this case, definitely the water would flow out of the glass. second, if the glass is filled up to the brim after puting in the ice cube. in this case, there are two possibilities. when you are adding the ice into the water, the volume of the ice-cube is mixing with the volume of the water, hence raising the water level to the brim. if there are no air bubbles trapped inside the ice-cube the level of water will remain the same (depending on the temperature and evaporation conditions). but if there is a an air bubble trapped inside the ice-cube, after the ice melts the water level will drop to certain extent, may be really minute, but still will drop.(as even air has volume, for e.g. in a baloon).

I'll have to see if the ice cube is
1) completely submerged ,or
2) is floating partly outside.
In case 1 water will not overflow whereas in the case 2 it will because the part of ice outside the brim will melt but the water in the glass remains the same.

Archimedes already knew that nothing is going to happen. Some pointed out that the density of ice is less than the density of water: True, but they forget that because of this 10% of the ice cube is sticking out. If the density of ice would be 50% of that of water, 50% would be sticking out.
As long as the temperature remains 0°C the water level will remain constant as long as the ice melts. Heating it up further, the volume will decrease slightly until the temperature reaches 4°C. Heating the water up further will increase the volume again.

The glass would not be so full. So long as the ice was fully submerged when it was filled to the brim. Ice is less dense than water. This is because as water freezes it expands.
Trust me, or look it up. Most of these people have no clue that ice is less dense than water. That is why it floats.

Logically, the weight will displace with water. There should be no change in the level.
If you want some good answers....Try it in brine (salty water) what would you expect to happen now? What about the change in sea levels when the polar ice caps melt. Is there a difference between the effect of the Arctic and the Antarctic?

The water will not overflow since the mass of the ice cube and when it melts remain the same. Therefore the water will not overflow.

Infact water is much denser @ 4 degree C. Therefore if ice melts, I think that there must be a slight decrease in volume in the glass.

no longer something see you later because of the fact the water is above 4 C, below this temperature the water will develop so the ice cube will reason the glass to overflow because it lowers the temperature of the water. the point of the water interior the glass will drop because it contracts whilst coming near room temperature.

It will below the brim. As ice take extra space than water.
