They both weigh the same: 5 gallons. duh!
Additional comment: "Gallon" is used to measure weight. It has nothing to do with the density. Is 5 pounds of lead heavier than 5 pounds of cotton? If you say Yes, go back to school. Now, if you ask about 5 cu.ft of water and 5 cu.ft. of concrete, the concrete is heavier because of its higher density.

Concrete. Even dry- concrete is about 150 lbs per CF, while water is 62.5 lbs per CF.
Theres rock in there, you know... You may have noticed that neither rock nor concrete floats....

wet concrete because the density per pound is greater

concrete is much more dense, so it will weigh more.
